Thank you so much Thomas. I'll poke around some more and keep these suggestions in mind.

H-Maps Discussions and Queries
As of now I cannot point you in the direction of the larger map but some elements I noticed might help date it.
- There is a small row of houses (some of the only buildings on the map) with the label 'St Iage de la Niego' - more commonly known as 'Santiago de la Vega' and now known as Spanish Town. It has been known as Spanish Town since the English conquest in 1655, though it is still given the original Spanish name on John Thornton's map of 1689.
- In the area marked Cagway Harbour it is noticeably missing either Kingston (post 1692 earthquake) or Port Royal (pre 1692 earthquake)
Hello all,
I have a map that appears to be a portion from a larger map. The map was given the date 1704 with a question mark though that may be off.

Does anyone recognize which map this may have come from?
Thanks in advance!

Dear all,
In Petrus Schenk's Schouwburg van den Oorlog is a fortification plan of Haguenau (northern Alsace) of 1705 (plate 6, first copperplate). However, the town is not Haguenau. Schenk realised this and made a second copperplate with the correct plan of Haguenau.
Characteristic is that the town is on one side of a river, with some fortifications on the other side. The canals inside the fortification have also a characteristic pattern (first illustration).
Haguenau is not on a major river, as the correct plan (second illustration) shows.
The orientation is unknown, and it is
