"Plattegrond van de stad Batavia" (Map of the city of Batavia) is a detailed cartographic work by G.P.F. Cronenberg, a Dutch cartographer. It depicts the city of Batavia, now Jakarta, Indonesia in 1866. This large-scale map, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the city's layout with meticulous detail, marking roads, canals, and even individual buildings, providing valuable insight into the urban development of the Dutch East Indies during this period. The map's high level of detail and its inclusion in a prominent museum collection make it a key historical document for studying Batavia's urban landscape.
