This map depicts the Trans-Jordanian inheritance of the Tribe of Menasseh, which occupied parts of today’s northern Jordan and the Golan Heights. Jacob and Laban are depicted making a treaty at Jegar Sahadutha, Elijah receives miraculous sustenance from ravens and the armies of Israel and Og wage war outside of Edrei. The map is dedicated to Richard Pigot, a financier of Fuller’s historical and cartographical works. The tribe's emblem, a tree, appears beside the dedication.
