Direktör för lantmäteriet, tog initiativet till den första svenska Generalkartan.
At the age of 28, appointed director (later director-general) for the National Land Survey. Offices were a room at the royal palace, 'but in autumn, winter and spring, maps never could be stored there because of the moisture, snow and rain that drift in through the leaky walls'. Wrote poetry with same success - 200 years later the works were deemed 'currently unpalatable'. In the early 1690s worked on Stockholm's Outer archipelago, until then poorly represented on charts. For security reasons, the lise of maps was restricted. His maps first round real use a hundred years later as underpinning for Sweden's Marine Atlas (Sveriges Sjöatlas).

Bland arbeten.
Plan de la ville de Peking levee en 1817 (title repeated in Russian). St. Petersburg, (c. 1815) 1220 x 960 mm.
A rare map of the city published in St Petersburg in the early part of the nineteenth century. The plan shows details of the city walls, gates, streets, waterways, lakes, palaces, buildings and temples. Although mentioned in Cordier, little detail is given, but it does appear to be a source map for a number of subsequent maps published through the nineteenth century.
The Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Peking was founded in 1727. The Emperor K’Ang His gave them a temple in the north-west corner of the city. According to Cordier a good deal of Scientific and Sinological work was done at the mission.
