This 1826 map by C. van Baarsel en Zoon depicts the region of Overijssel, Netherlands, that was flooded in 1825. The map details the flooded area, with rivers and lakes outlined in black, demonstrating the severity of the "Jongsten Watersnood" ("Youngest Flood"). The Dutch title and the map's scale suggest a practical purpose, likely created for official or public use to understand the impact of the flood. The detailed depiction of the region emphasizes the importance of accurate cartography for understanding and managing natural disasters.
