Beach ridge spine
The town follows a north–south ridge of old dune sand. Its oldest roads run along this higher ground, giving Heiloo its long, narrow form.

The map
Heiloo lies just south of Alkmaar in North Holland, on one of the old sandy beach ridges that run parallel to the coast behind the dunes. The higher, drier ground allowed early settlement, and the map still shows it. The town stretches north to south along the ridge, the railway and main roads follow the same line, and lower polder land opens up to the east.
Heiloo is known for the pilgrimage site of Onze Lieve Vrouw ter Nood and the Runxputte, a well associated with Saint Willibrord, the missionary to the Frisians. The town has grown mainly as a residential place, with many inhabitants working in Alkmaar or commuting to Amsterdam, and it has kept a green character of gardens, woods and estates.
A Heiloo map poster shows curving residential streets, cul-de-sacs and small parks around an older north–south spine. To the west lie woods and estates toward the dunes, and to the east the long straight lines of polder ditches. It is a quiet, balanced print of a typically Dutch town.

The shrine of Onze Lieve Vrouw ter Nood and the Runxputte well lie within the town. On the map they form a small green enclave among residential streets.
East of the railway, the land drops into polder crossed by straight ditches and roads. These contrast with the curving streets of the residential districts.
