This anonymous 18th-century map depicts the fortifications and layout of the city of Dunkirk (Duinkerke), located in what is now northern France. The map displays intricate details of the city's walls, streets, and surrounding landscape. It likely served as a guide for navigation or a military planning tool during a time when the region was heavily contested between France and the Netherlands. The map's visual clarity and detail make it a valuable historical artifact for studying the urban development and military architecture of this coastal city.
