This anonymous, hand-drawn map titled "Wegenkaart van Midden-Java" ("Road Map of Central Java") dates from 1906 to 1938 and depicts the central region of the Indonesian island of Java. The map uses a variety of colors and symbols to depict roads, rivers, and cities. The details suggest this map was created for practical use, potentially for navigation or planning purposes. The map can be found in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, highlighting the Dutch colonial influence in Indonesia during that period.
