The map, which is beautifully rendered in watercolor paint, provides a detailed and intricate depiction of the geography and built environment of the area surrounding Zandvliet, a historic settlement located in the southern Netherlands, now modern-day Belgium. The map is oriented with north to the left, and the borders of various territories are delineated in bold, colored lines. The cities and towns within the region are meticulously illustrated, each with its unique architectural features and distinctive flags flying high.

The map is a stunning example of Baroque cartography, with its intricate detail and elegant design. The use of watercolor paint adds a richness and depth to the map, making it a true work of art. The map would have been an essential tool for travelers and merchants during the 17th century, providing them with crucial information about the roads, waterways, and settlements in the region.
