This antique map titled ‘Tractus Rheni et Mosae totusq Vahalis…’ was created in 1665. The title translates to ‘The entire course of the Rhine, Meuse and Waal rivers…’ and depicts the Netherlands in the early 17th Century. The map shows the central location of Druten, Heesch, and Wijchen, but does not specify any other place names. The Netherlands at this time was a prosperous and powerful country, with a strong economy built on its position as a major trading hub and maritime power. It was bordered by Germany and other neighbouring countries. This map provides a fascinating glimpse into the geography and layout of the region during this period.
