5 north redrawn detail of the so-called Parisian map

6 the catastrophe on St. Elizabeths-day 1421: the grave of more than people? (16th century dyptich Rijksmuseum Amsterdam)

7 detail Parisian map area flooded areas in 1421

8 2 some questions

9 what is the relation between the old maps of the wetland areas and the historical geography of these areas? map surroundings of Amsterdam (reconstruction) th

10 map Amsterdam, 16 th century or, to be more precise: to what extend reflect old maps the history of reclamation, habitation and historical water management?..are nature developers dealing with this old map nformation while changing the cultural landscape?

11 where in the Netherlands the wetlands are situated map Amsterdam, 16 th century

12 map Amsterdam, 16 th century how they differ in historical geography

13 and what kind of relics are being preserved into the present-day landscape, taking into account the sometimes enormous landscape dynamics in the wetland areas during the last thousand years map Amsterdam, mid-20 th century

14 landscape dynamics are to be determinated from historical maps and... how these images influenced ideas on nature development map Amsterdam, mid-20 th century

15 3 wetlands in the Netherlands from an historical geographic point of view

16 Dutch historical geographic GIS Histland

17 The Dutch historical geographic GIS Histland gives, among other information: on different scales an indication of the history of topographical structures and relics in the present-day landscape

18 ar ydrologic situation before the first reclamations started
