"Wegenkaart van West-Java" is a map of the roads in West Java, Indonesia created between 1906 and 1938 by an anonymous artist. The map depicts the network of roads connecting various cities and towns in the region, likely intended for road travelers, especially those who owned automobiles, as indicated by the title "Automobielkaart" and the association with the Java Motor Club. This detailed cartographic work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable historical artifact offering insight into the development of transportation infrastructure in colonial Indonesia.
