This anonymous map of Friesland, Vlieland, Terschelling, and Ameland, dated 1629–1664, showcases the intricate details of this region in the Netherlands. The map employs a range of colors to differentiate land features, with rivers, towns, and other landmarks clearly marked. A compass rose in the upper left corner, along with the Latin inscription "Maris Germanici Pars," highlights the maritime significance of the area. The map's detailed cartographic style was typical of the period and reflects the growing importance of accurate geographical representation in the 17th century.
