Kaart van het dijkgraafschap van de Vier Noorder Koggen, bestaande uit vier delen 1731

This 1731 map by Hendrik de Leth, titled "Kaart van het dijkgraafschap van de Vier Noorder Koggen, bestaande uit vier delen", depicts the region of the Four Northern Cogs in the Netherlands. This detailed cartographic work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, comprises four separate panels that show the intricate network of waterways, fields, and settlements in this historically important area. The map's inclusion of coats of arms and the presence of allegorical figures, such as those in the lower right panel, highlight the importance of land ownership and the role of water management in Dutch life. The meticulous scale and clarity of detail make this map a valuable resource for understanding the landscape and social structures of the 18th century Netherlands.
