This anonymous 1598 woodcut map, titled "Kaart van de Russische kust met de stad Kola en het eiland Kildin", depicts the coastline of Kola Peninsula in northwest Russia. The map includes features like the island of Kildin, the town of Kola, and the surrounding landscape. It includes depictions of the inhabitants, suggesting a focus on both geographical accuracy and ethnographic interest. This small map, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable visual record of early cartographic efforts to represent the Russian coastline.
