Redistribution of the map: hedgerows in Northern Belgium on the topographical map of 1873 (1860-1873)

This map displays the location of hedgerows, as shown on the historical topographical map of 1873 (created between 1860-1873). The dépôt de la guerre (predecessor of the current NGI) represented hedgerows as a dotted row with small circles in between, unfilled. Using AI and GIS, they have been converted into lines. Purpose of creation: Suitable for landscape research, landscape ecology, and studies on landscape perception, as well as for selecting appropriate locations for the (re)planting of hedgerows and tree rows based on cultural-historical patterns.
