A 'modern' depiction of England. North is orientated to the left. The map primarily identifies Cathedral towns. Munster's map of England was the first separately printed map of England and a cartographic landmark in the history of British maps. A key in the upper left corner shows the English and Latin names for 17 major place names in England. The map includes the Royal Standard at the top center and the Scottish flag at lower left. Many of the 80 or so towns named, as well as the rivers and other topographical features, are shown for the first time.
