From medieval times onwards, surveyors have shaped the form of the peat landscape. During the ‘Great Reclamation’ of the western Netherlands, ‘locatores’ took care of the drainage of moors. The landscape was divided into parcels by the digging of drainage ditches. The structure that resulted, reflects the landownership up to the present time.

Layering of data: land ownership and listed buildings. 17th century farms are overrepresented on land owned by urban institutions (green). This seems to be the result of better construction and upkeep over time.

The 1985-86 archaeological survey shows scarce medieval finds. Presumed house sites are mainly traced on the eastern side of the polder because of differences in the way the peat area was reclaimed in medieval times.
