Johannes Leupenius, a Dutch cartographer, created a detailed map of the Krimpenerwaard region in 1683, known as *Kaart van het Hoogheemraadschap van de Krimpenerwaard (zesde deel van kaart)*. This map is a section of a larger six-part series, focusing on the administrative district's land divisions. It is a clear and concise representation of the polders, waterways, and villages, illustrating the region's intricate landscape. The map's detailed annotations and ornate framing, typical of cartographic art of the time, contribute to its visual appeal and historical value. The Rijksmuseum currently houses this significant artifact.
