Ingermanland in its official boundaries divided into administrative
units -- provinces (Lähn), pogosts (Pogosten), parishes (Sochn).
State thoroughfares, Nyen, other towns and fortresses, new fairway
in the mouth of Neva, Ladoga Lake fairway are marked. Large areas
of water are signed and the Baltic Sea has the name “Big
Salt Sea”. On the outer (southern and eastern) sides of

is the frontier of Russian Great Principality” and the water
frontier between Russia and Sweden upon Ladoga Lake is shown.
Annotation:
A unique Swedish map. Perhaps, it is the last cartographic edition
showing Ingermanland as a part of Swedish Kingdom. It was made
after Russian troops seized Nyenskans and were taking hold of
the territory of Ingermanland -- the former Izhora land of Novgorodian
Republic. Based on the Swedish mapping under the leadership of
E. Beling and after his death revised by Anders Andersin in 1704
in Stockholm.
