This work reviews the processes of changing cartography during the 16th-17th centuries in the Baltic region, the role of the Republic of the United Provinces, as a key card-producing country, and Sweden as the leading power of the Baltic of that era. On the one hand, the rapid development of mapping the world, based on the economic basis of the Netherlands, was reflected in the Baltic region. The commercial success of the atlases and the continued interest of the cartographers expanded and improved the maps of the region. On the other hand, the Swedish cartography, based on the military-administrative resource, provided the bulk of the material for cartographers and formed an idea of the Baltic. Thus, by the end of the 17th century, an idea was formed about this part of Europe, which once stood as one of the last in the series for research.
