Monochrome map depicting the Baltic Sea, Sweden, East Bothnia, and the Gult of Finland. Cities and islands (including Hven, marked "Uraniborg" for Tycho Brahe's observatory there located) are labeled, and rivers are drawn, although much of the interior of Sweden is blank. A printed segment over Sweden reads,
"By the Treaty concluded at Abo, 16 June 1743, Sweden agreed to yield for ever to Russia the Province of Kimi, with all the Branches of the River Kimi, except the Country on the West Side of its last Branches; as also the town and Fortress of Nyslot, with a Frontier on ye West and North Sides."
