The drawing has a bird's eye view of the county, from somewhere on an imaginary height above Petersfield, on which a ruin with urn, columns, pyramid and a seated figure; the map includes Havant to Poole along the coast, with the Isle of Wight, inland to Alton, Whitchurch, Andover; all is distorted, quite out of drawing.
This is a drawing not a map, but considered as a map the scale is about 15 miles to 1 inch.
