The old island
The historic core sits on higher ground, the remnant of the former island. Its tight, irregular streets contrast clearly with the straight polder roads nearby.

The map
About this Urk map poster
Urk, in the Dutch province of Flevoland, was an island in the Zuiderzee for centuries. That changed when the Noordoostpolder was drained in the 1930s and 1940s, connecting it to the mainland. On the map, you can still see the outline of the old island, a small rise on the polder edge facing the IJsselmeer.
The old village is a dense cluster of narrow streets and small houses around the harbour and the higher ground. Newer neighbourhoods spread out onto the flat polder in a more regular pattern. The harbour basins, dikes and the lighthouse on the waterfront define the western and southern edges.
Urk has kept a strong fishing tradition and a distinct local identity, and its fleet remains one of the best known in the Netherlands. An Urk map poster shows the history of the place in its shape: an old island village, a working harbour and the straight lines of reclaimed land behind it.

Harbour basins
Urk's harbours cut into the waterfront in angular shapes. They are some of the most distinctive details on the map and a reminder of the town's fishing life.
Polder lines
To the east, the Noordoostpolder stretches out in straight roads and rectangular fields. It is a landscape made by engineering, with the clean geometry to match.
