Redistribution of the map: tree rows in Northern Belgium on the topographical map of 1969 (1952-1969)

This map displays the location of rows of trees, as shown on the 1969 topographic map (created between 1952-1969). The National Geographic Institute of Belgium usually represented rows of trees as a linear pattern of thicker dots spaced relatively further apart (not to be confused with the symbol for municipal boundaries). Using AI and GIS, they have been processed into lines. Conifers are drawn as stars. 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.
