This anonymous map titled "Kaart van een deel van het verloop van de Rijn, Maas en Waal" from the Rijksmuseum depicts the courses of the Rhine, Meuse and Waal rivers in the Netherlands. The detailed engraving showcases the landscape and towns along the rivers with a key at the bottom denoting "Le Terre ouve La Meuse Waal et Rijn" (The Land between Meuse, Waal and Rhine). This map provides a glimpse into the cartographic techniques used in the 17th century and the importance of these waterways in the region.
