This detailed map, "Kaart van de rivier de Eem (tweede deel)," was created by Thomas Doesburgh in 1692 and depicts the river Eem, a tributary of the Vecht River in the Netherlands. The map showcases a cartographic style common to the period, featuring a meticulous depiction of the river's course, surrounding settlements, and various land features. The inclusion of coat of arms and names at the top suggests that the map was intended to be a public document, potentially for local governance or historical documentation. The map is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing a valuable glimpse into Dutch cartography during the 17th century.
