1) This is a typical T-O map oriented with East at the top
2) Jesus Chirst is shown at the top of the map and, immediately below, is earthly paradise. Gog and Magog are trapped behind a wall on the upper left
3) The map is centred on Jerusalem. The other locations seem to occupy spheres emanating from it.
4) At the outside edge, bottom right, are a particularly inventive group of monstrous creatures.
