Vogt, Vogt's map, old map, map analysis, water, watercoursesThis bachelor thesis focuses on the semiotic, content-based, and hydrographic analysis of Vogt's map of Bohemia from 1712. The main objective of the thesis is to examine the representation of watercourses in the map and to compare them with the present-day river network. The thesis aims to determine the extent to which the historical depiction is accurate and which elements the author prioritized when representing the water features. The theoretical part introduces the author of the map the historical context of its creation and provides basic information about the map's content and cartographic representation. It also elaborates on specific aspects that are further used in the practical part. The practical part is dedicated to the analysis of watercourses, including their naming, course depiction in the map, and the hydrographic analysis itself. The analysis focuses on four fundamental parameters: stream order according to Gravelius's classification system, stream length, drainage density, and sinuosity. All analyses were performed using GIS tools in the ArcGIS Pro environment. Keywords: Vogt, Vogt's map, old map, map analysis, hydrography, watercourses
