This 1737 map, created by an anonymous artist, depicts the coastal area between Monster and Hoek van Holland. The detailed pen-and-ink drawing displays a range of geographical features including a large body of water, a network of waterways and smaller ponds, and forested areas. This map, measuring 551 mm in height and 933 mm in width, provides a fascinating glimpse into the landscape and topography of this region during the 18th century. The inclusion of a compass rose and other navigational elements further emphasize the practical purpose of this cartographic work.
