This anonymous map from the 17th century depicts the County of Namur, a region in present-day Belgium. The detailed, hand-drawn lines outline the landscape, rivers, and towns of the region, with a focus on the Meuse River. The bottom right corner features a decorative coat of arms, a common element in maps of the period, showcasing the importance of heraldry and territorial ownership. The map provides a valuable insight into the historical cartography of the region, offering a glimpse into the geographical knowledge and artistic practices of the time.
