Note:
This image is a composite of Sections I to LXIII of the birdseye drawings of the Archduchy Austria below the Enns. (Perspectiv-Karte des Erzherzogthums Oesterreich unter der Ens.) These birdseye views when joined together (see our Composite) make probably the largest such view of any country that we have seen. Together they cover about 3,000 square miles at a large scale of two inches to one mile. They give a unified view of the landscape that is at a consistent scale (unlike other birdseyes that use diminishing perspective), and the level of detail of cultural information is extraordinary.
