The Map of Augsburg is a notable work from the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," a collection of city maps and views that is considered one of the most important works of urban cartography of the 16th century. Created by Joris Hoefnagel (1542–1600), a Flemish artist, engraver, and miniaturist, this map showcases the city of Augsburg, located in the present-day German state of Bavaria. Augsburg was an important hub of commerce and politics during the time of the map's creation, and Hoefnagel's work captures the city's layout and architecture with meticulous detail.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," often referred to as the "Cities of the World," was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. It was edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Hoefnagel contributed to the work by providing additional illustrations and enhancements. The Map of Augsburg is distinguished by its intricate detail, artistic embellishment, and historical significance, as it provides a snapshot of the Renaissance city's appearance.

Hoefnagel's contribution to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is particularly valued for its combination of topographical accuracy and aesthetic appeal. His work on the Map of Augsburg not only served as a practical guide for contemporary viewers but also as a piece of art that has been appreciated by generations of historians, cartographers, and art enthusiasts. The map is an exemplary representation of the urban cartography of the period and remains an important resource for understanding the historical urban landscape of Augsburg.
