"Plattegrond van een bocht in een rivier en een schaardijk" (1650 - 1715) is an intricate map created by Martinus Berkenboom, a Dutch surveyor. The map depicts a bend in a river and a dike, likely part of a larger water management system, demonstrating the importance of hydraulic engineering during the Dutch Golden Age. The precise location of the site remains unknown, but the detailed measurements and annotations in Dutch suggest it was likely a local project. The intricate hatching patterns and text-heavy layout contribute to a unique visual style of scientific and cartographic representation, typical of early engineering and surveying practice.
