This antique map, spanning present-day Belgium and the Netherlands, represents the Meuse-Inférieure department under the First French Empire. It was created in the early 19th century by French geographer Pierre-Gilles Chanlaire and forms part of the Atlas National de France. The map illustrates the administrative structure imposed by Napoleonic authorities in this cross-border region.
