Zooming in to this detail from a lovely map of Zurich by Janssonius (1680), you can clearly see the shaded symbols used for mountains, the little trees that indicate forests, and towers rising up from the cities. The entire map comes alive and one can almost picture little people working in the fields, or deer prancing in the wood.
