This 1583 nautical chart by Joannes van Doetechum depicts the Vlie and Marsdiep, bodies of water in the Netherlands. The map is highly detailed and includes the coastline, islands, and navigational markers. The map is oriented with north at the bottom, making it more practical for navigation. The chart also has a number of compass roses and annotations that likely provided information for sailors. The map is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
