"Plattegrond van Genève" is a detailed map of Geneva, Switzerland created by Abraham Allard between 1701 and 1733. The map showcases the city's layout, with particular emphasis on its fortifications, including the "Bastion Barugues" and "Beflien de Hollande." The Rhone River is prominently featured, flowing through the center of the city and out into the "Lac Luman ou de Geneve." Allard's map provides a valuable historical and cartographic record of Geneva during this period, offering insights into the city's urban planning and defensive strategies.
