    The following towns are featured: based upon Anders Bure's 6 sheet map of Sweden in 1626. Bure was one of the most important map makers in the history of Scandinavian cartography. He was a mathematician, instruments maker, and cartographer by his training. He was the Secretary of Gustav II Adolf, the King of Sweden, as well as the Chief Architect and the highest official on topography of the Swedish kingdom. In 1626, he produced a map of the Swedish kingdom on six separate sheets, Orbis Arctoi Nova et Accurata Delineatio, which was copied by Dutch mapmakers, Jodocus Hondius, Willem Janszoon Blaeu, and Nicholas Visscher as the basis for their maps of Northern Europe. The publication of Bure's 6-sheet map in 1626 brought along the revival of map drawing in the country, including Livonia. In 1688 it was decided to publish a new map which had to be a step forward from the Bure∆s map. Under the circumstances of constant war the map sources were considered confidential material
