"Map of Arnhem Velmo Gelre and Ruerm from Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a historical map created by Joris Hoefnagel, a notable Flemish artist, miniaturist, and cartographer of the 16th century. This map is part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered the first systematic city atlas. The atlas was edited and published by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Hoefnagel contributed to the work with his detailed and intricate illustrations.

The "Map of Arnhem Velmo Gelre and Ruerm" specifically depicts the city of Arnhem, which is located in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands, along with its surrounding areas.

It also includes representations of the nearby regions of Veluwe (referred to as "Velmo" in the title), Gelre (the historical duchy of which Arnhem was the capital), and the Ruhr region (referred to as "Ruerm").

Joris Hoefnagel's contribution to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is significant as his work is characterized by a combination of scientific observation and artistic embellishment, making his maps not only valuable geographic records but also works of art. The map serves as an important historical document, providing insight into the urban and regional geography of the late 16th century, as well as the artistic and cartographic practices of the time.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617, and the inclusion of the "Map of Arnhem Velmo Gelre and Ruerm" within this collection underscores its importance in the broader context of cartographic history.
