Kaart van de Schermer na voltooiing van de bedijking en verloting van de kavels, 1635 before 1640

This detailed map, *Kaart van de Schermer na voltooiing van de bedijking en verloting van de kavels, 1635* (Map of the Schermer after the completion of the embankment and the lottery of the lots, 1635), was created by Salomon Rogiers before 1640. It is a cartographic masterpiece that showcases the precise layout of the Schermer polder in the Netherlands after its successful reclamation from the sea. The map, with its intricate grid system and clear labeling, not only documents the land division but also offers a glimpse into the innovative engineering techniques used for land reclamation in the 17th century. It's a testament to Rogiers's skill as a mapmaker and provides valuable insights into the Dutch Golden Age's mastery of landscape engineering.
