This large hand-colored map entitled "La Seigneurie d'Utrecht. Dressé sur les memoires les plus nouveaux par le Sr. Sanson" was originally created by Nicholas Sanson d'Abbeville.

It depicts the Utrecht province of the Netherlands, including the city of Utrecht, the town of Goude (famous for its cheese), the Zuyder Zee, which at the time this maps was produced was part of the North Sea. In modern times it was cut off from the North Sea and is now IJssel Lake.
An ornate title cartouche in the left upper corner consists of 2 young figures in the upper portion holding flowers and an urn and two mermaids in the lower portion. A scale cartouche is present in the upper right corner.
