The map shows:

• populated areas associated with Cossack history;
• boundaries of the territories covered by Bohdan Khmelnytsky's rule in 1654-1657. (the largest territorial growth of the Zaporozhian Army);
• Hetman's capitals, regimental and centurion towns, Zaporozhian Sich;
• Palan centres and other centres of the Cossacks;
• Places associated with prominent figures of the Cossack era;

The inset to the main map provides a political overview of Ukraine at that time. On the reverse side of the map is a commentary on each settlement related to Cossack history. The text contains evidence of the administrative status of a village or town in the 16th-18th centuries (capital, regimental or centenary centre) and brief information about historical events.

The map is decorated in the Baroque style and is decorated with portraits of hetmans, atamans and Haidamak leaders.
