This map is one of the oldest in the atlas, engraved in 1799 and by many elements one of the most successful. At the same time, it is highly legible and rich in information. The Virovitica County covers the area south of the Drava River and north of the Požega County and the Brod Regiment. It is divided into three districts: Virovitica, Đakovo and Osijek. The map contains many toponyms, such as Virovitica, Orahovica, Našice, Osijek, Đakovo and Valpovo, as well as many smaller ones, such as Ćepin, Tenja, etc. The road network and the relief (Papuk) are visible. Great attention was paid to marking wetlands north of Našice, and especially north of Osijek, along the Drava and Danube (Kopački rit). The map is dedicated to Count Đuro Feštetić.
