This anonymous map from 1628-1633 depicts the Duchy of Limburg, a historical region encompassing parts of modern-day Belgium and the Netherlands. The map is detailed and precise, showcasing the region's topography, cities, and towns. The inclusion of the compass and the Latin inscription "Milia Germanica communia" in the bottom right corner suggest a focus on accurate cartographic representation. The ornate cartouche in the upper left corner features the coat of arms of the Duchy, adding a decorative element to the map. This historical map offers valuable insights into the geographical knowledge and cartographic practices of the 17th century.
