This is the first map showing only the territory of Macedonia in its geographical and ethnic borders, with certain deviations. The large scale used in its making enabled much information to be entered, but Cantelli makes serious mistakes in the names relating to the hidrography, so that the map gives the impression of inaccuracy. Mt.Sar is marked with the name Orbelo which is actually the name of Osogovo or Belasica, The River  Crna is shown with the source of the River Vardar, and further down is named Vardar. The source of the Vardar should added to the presentation of the River Pcinja, and it should be thus marked. The River Bistrica bears the name of the Crna Reka. The Galik is shown as being longer than it actually is. Mount Babuna  is entered here for the first time, but under  the name of Prilep Mountains. Mount Korab is also entered, and so are  the town Tetovo, Kumanovo, Katlanovo, Veles, Kavala, Ber, Enidze Vardar, Sarigyol and Serfidze.
