This 18th century map, created by an unknown artist between 1749 and 1769, details the Maas and Merwede Rivers from the North Sea to Gorinchem. The map is presented in two parts, with detailed topographical information, including geographical features, towns, and waterways. The use of a distinct color palette differentiates land from water, enhancing readability. This map serves as a valuable resource for historians, geographers, and anyone interested in the historical development of the Dutch landscape.
