This anonymous 1638 map, titled "Kaart van het graafschap Namen" (Map of the County of Namur), depicts the region of Namur in Belgium with detailed accuracy. The map uses various shades of green to indicate forested areas and rivers, and it uses a grid of latitude and longitude lines for greater precision. It can be found in the Rijksmuseum. The map provides a unique insight into the cartography and regional knowledge of the 17th century.
