The antique map ‘Agri Biemstrani descriptio’, created in 1665, shows a description of the agricultural lands of the Beemster region in the Netherlands. This area was known for its rich and fertile soil, which was used for farming and grazing. In the early 17th century, the Netherlands was a prosperous country with a strong economy and a thriving trade industry. The country was also known for its art, science, and culture, with many famous artists, writers, and thinkers emerging during this time. The map provides a glimpse into the landscape and geography of the region, with Noordbeemster, Middenbeemster, and Westbeemster located centrally.
