This map is not only a valuable historical document but also a work of art. Moll's use of decorative elements, such as elaborate cartouches and sea monsters, reflects the artistic conventions of the time and adds an aesthetic dimension to the map. The "Map of The West Part of Barbary 1720" remains an important resource for historians, geographers, and collectors, offering insights into the cartographic practices of the early 18th century and the historical geography of North Africa.
