The antique map ‘Pictaviae Dvcatvs Descriptio’, created in 1665, depicts the region of Poitou-Charentes in western France during the early 17th Century. This area was known for its agricultural production and coastal trade, with La Rochelle serving as a major port city. The region was also home to several important cities, including Poitiers and Angers, which were located centrally on the map. The map would show geographical features such as rivers, mountains, and forests, as well as important landmarks such as castles and churches.
