This anonymous map of Montargis from 1638 depicts a bird's-eye view of the city, with its walls, streets, and surrounding landscape, including a river. The map, with its detailed and colorful representation of Montargis, offers a glimpse into the urban planning and geographic features of the city during the 17th century. Its careful rendering of the cityscape, particularly the fortifications, provides historical insights into the city's defenses and development. The map, a valuable example of 17th-century cartography, reveals the importance of Montargis within its wider geographical context.
