The map includes a number of battles, including a graphic depiction of the naval Battle of Velez-Malaga (August 24, 1704), the largest naval battle fought during the War of the Spanish Succession, along with a representation of a larger naval battle off the Catalan Coast, representative of the Siege of Barcelona by the British under the Earl of Peterborough. Other battles noted include the Bay of Vigo (October 23, 1702) and the Siege of Gibraltar (July 24, 1704).
