The map locates the major villages and towns and presents reasonable coastal detail. However, the interior topography is not very accurate with <em>Opslo Tellemarck<\/em>\u00a0shown as a large empty region, save for a large lake and a notation describing that &#8220;from Stavanger to Hallingdal, the journey is extremely difficult due to the roughness of the mountains.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although Scavenius is listed as the author of the map, it is likely that <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peder_Clauss%C3%B8n_Friis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peder Clauss\u00f8n Friis<\/a> was the actual cartographer behind it. When Peder Clauss\u00f8n Friis died in 1614, all his topographical works, including sketches and notes, were handed over to Bishop Laurits Scavenius. However, these works remained with the bishop until his death in 1626. It was his successor, Bishop Thomas Kortsen Wegner (1588\u20131654), who then took possession of the material. It was not until 1630 that Wegner transferred the sketches and notes to Chancellor <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Christen_Friis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christen Friis<\/a> (1581\u20131639), who, in turn, forwarded them to physician <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ole_Worm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ole Worm<\/a> (1588\u20131654) so that they could be printed.<\/p>\n<p>The waters of the North Sea are sailed by four ships; the coat of arms of Norway is displayed to the upper right while the arms of the kingdom of Denmark appears to the upper left (both countries were at the time ruled by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/biography\/Christian-IV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">King Christian IV of Denmark<\/a>).
