Abstract

The history of the Hungarian Cartography has great traditions in the exploitation and utilization of the nature values and environmental capabilities that also creates European examples. I chose an example from the history of the Alföld water-cartography. In the decades after the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries a map-making process started in connection with the plans and preparation of water-regulation and drainage works, draining waterlogged areas almost as big as a the Netherlands. The countrywide significance of the Hungarian water-engineers’ cartographic activity started also at the beginning of the nineteenth century together with the beginning of flood-defense works. Nevertheless, already in the middle of the eighteenth century, with the advanced possibilities of the produce salesmanship, drainage works started. River shipping quickened this time, which also urged for regulations of rivers.
