At that time, there were no country estates along the Vecht River or in \u2019s-Graveland yet. Still depicted are several monasteries along the Vecht that by then had already fallen into ruin.<\/p>\n<p>This was the period when tow-canals (Dutch: <em>trekvaarten<\/em>) were dug between cities and existing waterways were adapted for towing boats. In 1599, the Amstel River from Amsterdam to Uithoorn was provided with a towpath, followed between 1626 and 1628 by sections of the Amsterdam-Utrecht route. Initially, tow-canals were built to link two cities, but as the 17th century progressed, more and more individual tow-canals were connected, creating vast canal networks.<\/p>\n<p>From 1588 until the French period, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lordship_of_Utrecht\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lordship of Utrecht<\/a> was one of the provinces of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dutch_Republic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dutch Republic<\/a> (Republic of the Seven United Netherlands). What the map does not show is that at the time of its publication, Utrecht was in the grip of a plague epidemic, which would only end in 1638. As much as 15 percent of Utrecht\u2019s population would die from the disease.<\/p>\n<p>Blaeu was driven by the ambition to create an atlas unlike anything the world had ever seen.

Rivalry with the publishing house of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jan_Janssonius\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Janssonius<\/a> and motives such as prestige and display were at least as important. Blaeu wanted to create something that, at the height of Amsterdam\u2019s power, would astonish the civilized world.
