Frans Hogenberg's "Kaart van het graafschap Holland" is a detailed map of the Dutch county of Holland created between 1570 and 1592. The map depicts the coastline, waterways, and roads of the region with towns and cities identified by name. This highly detailed map is a prime example of 16th-century cartography. A compass rose in the top-center of the map indicates north, while a prominent coat of arms appears to the left. The map is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
