This antique map created in 1665 is titled ‘Wasia ‘T Land van Waes’, which translates to ‘Waasland, the Land of Waes’. The map depicts the region of Belgium known as Waasland in the early 17th century, bordered by the Netherlands to the north. The area is characterised by its fertile farmland and significant waterways, including the River Scheldt. The towns of Sint-Gillis-Waas, Nieuwkerken-Waas, and Vrasene are located centrally in the region. The map provides a fascinating glimpse into the historical geography of this part of Belgium, including the layout of roads, rivers, and settlements.
