Kaart van het Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland (twaalfde deel) 1647 - 1687

"Kaart van het Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland (twaalfde deel)" (Map of the High Water Board of Rijnland (Twelfth Part)), 1647-1687 by Cornelis (I) Danckerts (1604-1656) is a detailed map of a region in the Netherlands. The intricate lines and labels denote the boundaries of different land plots, waterways, and settlements. This piece is part of a larger series of maps documenting the land holdings and drainage systems of the area. The use of precise detail and a clear, organized structure are characteristic of cartography during the 17th century. The map's inscription, "den lagen Brouck" (the low brook), reveals its focus on the hydrological features of the region. Now housed at the Rijksmuseum, the map stands as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of Dutch cartographers.
