The first maps of Hessen appeared in Sebastian Münsters Cosmographia (1550) and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Ortelius" class="extiw" title="en:Abraham Ortelius">Abraham Ortelius</a> (1527-1598) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatrum_Orbis_Terrarum" class="extiw" title="en:Theatrum Orbis Terrarum">Theatrum Orbis Terrarum</a> (1575). These maps were based on the work by J. Dryander. 17th-century maps were mainly based on the topographical survey of Hessen carried out between 1607-1617 by Wilhelm Dilich (1571-1655) ordered by the landgrave Moritz van Hessen. The survey resulted in 27 maps. This version of the map was probable published by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Blaeu" class="extiw" title="en:Joan Blaeu">Joan Blaeu</a> (1598-1673).
