This anonymous map from the 17th or 18th century depicts the County of Holland, a region in the Netherlands. The map is detailed and includes several features, such as the North Sea, the Zuiderzee (former inland sea), and numerous waterways. The map also includes a compass and a key explaining the different regions of Holland. The map is a beautiful and informative example of Dutch cartography from this period and is held in the Rijksmuseum.
