Description
This is the oldest topographic map and is also the first accurate map that was made of the Netherlands.
The sheets were engraved and printed between 1860 and 1864. They contain a graduation along the edge and a graduation grid on the map and furthermore two scales at the bottom of the map with a division into 10,000 cubits (= meters), resp. 10 Dutch miles (= kilometers).
The edition on 62 sheets was highly appreciated for its fine lithographic printing and its cartographic content. Nowadays it is frequently used for historical investigations.
The results of the trigonometrical survey, that general C.R.T. Kraijenhoff had executed during the period 1801-1811, were used in combination with the cadastral maps. A date is placed below the map sheets which contains two elements: the years in which the survey took place and the year in which the lithographic stone was engraved. From 1873 onward the years of the updatings are printed on the sheets.
