"Maps of Charlemont, Landrecies, Avesnes, and Beaumont from Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a series of engravings by Joris Hoefnagel, a notable Flemish artist and illustrator of the late 16th century. These maps are part of the larger work "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most significant achievements in the history of cartography. The "Civitates" was compiled by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Hoefnagel contributed to the work with his detailed and artistic illustrations.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," or "Cities of the World," is a collection of bird's-eye views and maps of cities from around the world, published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. It served as a comprehensive visual record of urban life at the turn of the 17th century and was widely disseminated throughout Europe. Hoefnagel's contributions to this atlas are particularly noteworthy for their artistic detail and accuracy, which reflect both his skill as a miniaturist and his keen interest in natural history and topography.

The maps of Charlemont, Landrecies, Avesnes, and Beaumont are significant for their depiction of these cities during a period of considerable military and political importance, as many of the regions depicted were often contested by various European powers. Hoefnagel's work not only provided a valuable tool for understanding the geography and fortifications of these areas but also offered a glimpse into the daily life of their inhabitants through his meticulous renderings.

As part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," these maps are an important part of the cultural and historical record, offering insight into the Renaissance period's urban landscapes and cartographic practices. They remain subjects of study for historians, geographers, and art historians alike, and are prized for their blend of technical precision and aesthetic beauty.
