Jacob van Meurs' "Kaart van het kwartier Westergo," a detailed map of the Westergo region in the Netherlands, was created in 1664. The map, which measures 277 mm by 519 mm, showcases the intricate network of roads, waterways, and villages that defined the region. This meticulously crafted map is a testament to the precision and artistry of Dutch cartography during the Golden Age. The map is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and provides a valuable historical glimpse into the geography and administrative divisions of Westergo in the 17th century.
