these large-scale maps do not describe particular places however they remind us of some. their specific purpose, direction and
limits appear to be lost. nevertheless they describe the constant need of human beings to process, employ and copy nature. these
maps wind around the mentioned coastal region of east frisia throughits innumerable water routes, the many dollards as well
as the eastern frisian islands inclusions entrnched within the inland waters, thereby portraying a critical perspective of
the artificially assembled water- land borders. these maps are populated with brief descriptions around water bugs. they
suddenly appear to be contaminated by foreign bodies,no longer associated with the landscape and probably are extinct.
