Moscou

This map was originally made by Hessel Gerritsz (1581-1632). In 1617 he was appointed the first official cartographer of the VOC, which brought him in a special position to collect unusual/unknown data. The map may have been published for the first time postmortem in 1642. Probably the map is derived from data collected under order of Boris Fyodorovich Godunov who ruled Russia from 1585 tot 1605.

The Kremlin takes a central position. It compasses the area between the Boulevard Ring and the Garden Ring in modern Moscou. The index mentions 60 locations.
