Maps have size 73x52 cm, with the same size of maps without frames - ​​60x43 cm. On the right side of the map is a list of cities including giving the owner, the number of citizens / peasants, cottagers and crofters and horses. 
Carefully drawn sections (maps) contain a lot of valuable data. There are marked all buildings - the stables, farms, churches, monasteries and chapels, castles and castle ruins, mail stations, stone and wooden bridges, crossings, windmills, water mills, sawmills , brickyards, lime kilns, glassworks, ironworks, mines...
