“Principatus Silesiae Oelsnensis in suos districtus Oels Bernstadt et Trebnitz divisi exactissima tabula geographica, exhibens insimul circumjacentes Dynastias liberas Trachenberg et Militsch, cum statibus minoribus Freyhain, Neuschlos, Goschütz et Zulauf”

The map includes elements related to the economy: roads, water mills, ponds, windmills, brickyards and ironworking centres. The decorations around the cartouche, in addition to their symbolic content, present occupations followed by the inhabitants: fishing in the pond, as well as the archaeological discoveries made at the beginning of the 18th century in Masłów in the Duchy of Oleśnica.
