This finely executed city plan of Utrecht, published in 1725 by Reiner and Joshua Ottens after an original survey by Caspar Specht, represents one of the most accurate early-eighteenth-century depictions of the city, formally titled Utrecht Urbis Traiecti ad Rhenum Novissima et Accuratissima Delineatio. The map reflects the Ottens firm’s reputation for precision and elegant engraving, combining scientific cartography with decorative clarity.

The plan presents Utrecht from a bird’s-eye perspective, emphasizing its strategic position along the Rhine branch (the Kromme Rijn) and its complex system of canals, moats, and fortified walls. Bastioned defenses encircle the city, illustrating Utrecht’s continued military importance within the Dutch Republic. Streets, squares, churches, and civic buildings are rendered with careful proportionality, revealing a dense urban fabric structured around medieval cores and early modern expansions.

Prominent landmarks such as St. Martin’s Cathedral (Domkerk) and its towering Dom Tower dominate the composition, serving as visual and symbolic anchors. Surrounding suburbs, gardens, and waterways are meticulously delineated, reflecting contemporary interest in urban planning and hydraulic control. A refined cartouche and compass rose add aesthetic balance without overwhelming the map’s informational clarity.
