The map shows the territory of the city, with suburbs and surrounding villages, after the demolition of defensive walls around the inner city center. 

The map is not dated. Because the building of the Strzelnica and casernes on Zamarstynow are present on the plan, it can be assumed that the plan reflects the urban environment, characteristic of the city in the end of 1820-s.

The map was signed by Blaim, Maichrowicz, Lang and Galinski. 

A closer analysis reveals much more precise graphic execution of the plan, and much more exact reflection of the land's relief. This new technique of drawing plans was introduced in the Austrian Empire after 1806, when the second measurement campaign of Galicia's territory for military needs began [11], p. 22.

Characterization of the city:

The plan shows the changes in the urban environment of the city after the almost complete liquidation of fortification remnants around the central part of the city. 

Beginning 1811, a number of measures were introduced to improve the appearance and functionability of the territories freed as a result of demolishing defensive walls and bulwarks. Today's Virmenska and Lesi Ukrayinky Streets were connected; Serbska St. was extended over the Bernardynskyi Garden. These changes improved communication between the city and its suburbs. A defensive ditch along today's Pidvalna Street was covered, and a new road was laid across the bulwarks [9], p. 442. 

In 1816 Provincial Counsellor Reizenheim headed works aimed at ordering the territory formerly occupied by fortificatinos. Trees were planted along the former defensive walls next to the stream of the river Poltva, and a promenade was constructed. Planning for Hubernatorski Bulwarks was completed in 1821. The same year, a palazzo was constructed here, to which the residence of the Governor of Galicia was moved [18], p. 61-62; [9], p. 444.

Lanes for strollers were constructed in 1820 at the foot of the Wronowskich Hill, next to the Pelczyński Pond. In 1821, a building of the Military Swimming School was built on the shore of the pond, following the initiative of Cavalry General Fresnel [18], p. 62; [9], p. 446.

In 1821 Jan Dienstl acquired the territory of the so-called Węgliński forest in the southeastern part of the city. There he had a park constructed, subsequently known as Pohulanka [25], p. 384.

According to a descripition of Lviv by Chodynicki, lighting of the city’s streets began in 1801. Paving and other maintenance works for streets and roads began in the next decade [9], p. 443-444.

As of 1823, city population was 48,276. The period from the late 1820s until the early 1830s saw a decline in population due to cholera epidemics  [19], p. 35, 113.

As of 1821, the city had 2,478 buildings. Extensive construction was characteristic for Lviv in the first half of the nineteenth century, which was also the time many buildings were rebuilt, gaining more stories. [19], p. 31.
