1681 South Holland, Netherlands

Delfland Schieland Netherlands, Nicolaas Visscher (1681)This map gives a fairly accurate image of the province of South-Holland at the end of the 17th century. In this part of the province the district water boards of Delfland en Schieland were responsible for the management and care of river and sea dikes. In order to fulfill this task as good as possible, detailed general maps were very important. The composer of this general map could therefore rely on accurate sources for his maps.
