The printed map of the Wogmeer Polder and the surveyor Gerrit Dirksz. Langedijck: the missing link found?

[Caert-Tresoor 11 (1992) 3, pp.67-72]

In 1717/1718 the Amsterdam engraver and draughtsman Albert Schut engraved a map that was commissioned by the polder?board of the Wogmeer. However, the situation depicted dates from 1610. Possibly Schut based his engraving on a 1610 map of the newly reclaimed land, which drawn on parchment by Gerrit Dirksz. Langedijck. This surveyor from Alkmaar had already surveyed the Wogmeer several times before it was diked in. An unsigned copy of one of these maps has survived and is now conserved in the municipal archives in Alkmaar. This beautiful map of the Wogmeer depicting it at the time it was still a lake, was probably drawn in connection with the problems that hampered progress in the construction of the dikes during the first month of 1608.
