This detailed map, created by Martinus Berkenboom between 1650 and 1715, depicts a bay with a river running through it. The map is divided into sections, each labeled with a Dutch word, possibly indicating different land parcels or areas of the bay. The intricately detailed lines and hatchings suggest the artist's meticulous observation and understanding of the landscape. The map’s title indicates that it may have been designed for navigational purposes, showing the route from the village of "Raynge" to "Schuijt", possibly a port or trading post. The map provides a unique glimpse into the cartographic techniques and geographical features of the Dutch Golden Age.
