This detailed map, titled "Kaart van het Hoogheemraadschap van Schieland (zesde deel)" (Map of the High Water Board of Schieland, part six), was created by Johannes Vinckboons between 1684 and 1718. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a meticulous depiction of the land divisions, waterways, and infrastructure of a specific section of Schieland, a region in the Netherlands. The map utilizes a grid system and clear labels in Dutch, providing a comprehensive visual guide to the area. While Vinckboons passed away in 1670, the map's completion reflects the ongoing importance of accurate cartography in understanding and managing land use in the Netherlands.
