Basic information and non-spatial information (Map layer)

Basic information and non-spatial information

This layer presents the organization, basic elements, and decorations. This map was organized into three different parts: the main map, an inset in the upper-right corner, and a cartouche at the bottom. Basic elements in the map comprised the topic, the scale, and the compass roses. The compass roses were drawn not only on the main map but also in the inset. In the decorations, much valuable non-spatial information was presented. For example, the cartographer showed the important merchandises at that time by literally writing their names down.
