This map depicts the region of East India, encompassing Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and parts of the surrounding areas. It showcases the various countries, cities, rivers, mountains, and other geographical features of the region.

It aimed to provide an accurate representation of the region's geography and served as a valuable resource for navigators, traders, and those interested in the exploration and trade routes of the East Indies.
The map exhibits Hondius' meticulous engraving skills, attention to detail, and decorative elements that were characteristic of his cartographic works. These elements often included ornate title cartouches, sea monsters, ships, and illustrations of indigenous people and local scenes.
Jodocus Hondius' maps and atlases were highly sought after during his time and had a significant influence on the development of cartography. His works played a crucial role in disseminating geographical knowledge and shaping the understanding of the world during the Age of Exploration.
