Description: The "Polder Atlas of the Netherlands" is a milestone in the history of landscape studies in the Low Countries. With about 300 maps, drawing and photographs from the air the more that 4000 polders are here systematically analyzed. In one digital map all polders can be traced by means of the coordinates and registers. By means of 17 examples the details of the shape differences and type of polder can be typologically mapped. All in all this atlas presents a comprehensive survey of the developments of the polderlandscape.
