This anonymous map of the Duchy of Limburg, created between 1700 and 1735, depicts the region's geographical features and political boundaries. The map's detailed cartography includes rivers, roads, forests, and towns. It is a valuable historical document for studying the region's landscape and administrative divisions during this period. The map's small size, measuring 157 mm in height and 227 mm in width, suggests it may have been part of a larger atlas or book. This map is a prime example of 18th-century cartography, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and the use of decorative elements, such as the winged cherubs flanking the inscription "Ducatus Limb: Urb".
