This east-oriented map shows the waterway between Sweden and Denmark leading to the Baltic Sea. Skagerrak, Kattegat and Oere-Sund with Copenhagen on the island of Seeland. The Swedish coast line runs from Schonen, Helsingborg, Halland north to Goteborg. Opposite is Skagen on the tip of Danish Jutland

Separated by a decorative acanthus, but etched on the same copper plate, we can see the enlagement of Oere-Sund with Copenhagen and on the Swedish side from about Malmoe, via Landscroon to Helsingborg.
