One of very few maps of the Holy Land engraved by a woman is attributed to 'Mademoiselle C.B. Glot'. The otherwise unknown Mlle. Glot appears to have worked alongside the prominent Parisian engraver Etienne Claude Voysard to produce the series of maps, the design of which is attributed to one Borel. This possibly refers to Antoine Borel, a French painter, illustrator, and printmaker active at the same time as Glot and Voysard, although there is no evidence that he produced a 'Carte de la Terre Sainte'.

The Glot-Voysard map extends from the Judean Mountains in the south to the Lebanon Mountains in the north; both ranges form natural boundaries between the Holy Land and Sinai and Syria, respectively. The land is divided into the territories of the Twelve Tribes, while the Roman provincial districts are also identified, and across the map a great number of settlements, mountains, waters, and religious sites are represented and named. A network of double lines expands from Gaza in the south up to Cana near Syria, tracing the journeys made by Christ across Canaan. Many of the lines converge at Jerusalem, which is represented in greater detail than the other cities on the map, flanked by small illustrations of Mount Calvary and the Mount of Olives.

In the lower right-hand corner of the map there are a set of scale bars giving the relative distances in German and French miles, hour journeys, and the now defunct unit of myriameters, equivalent to ten kilometres. Surmounting these is a key explaining the symbols used to represent the three types of city shown: Royal, refuge, and Levite. In the upper left-hand corner, the title is displayed on a banner held aloft by an angel.
