The map shows the counties of Gorica and Gradiška and the captaincy of Tolmin. By a dotted line are shown the boundaries between the counties and the captaincy. A yellow line shows their external borders. The topography is poorly represented without a clear layout. A tree-symbol is largely used to stress the forested character of the greatest part of the regions shown. Gorica is represented as large postal center situated at the crossroads of routes leading in Vipava, Trieste and Udine directions. The title of the map is in upper left corner inscribed in a stone monument. A mileage scale is in German (Deutsche M.) and Italian (Italienische M.). This map was published in Reilly's atlas "Schauplatz der Welt Atlas" 1789-1791
