This is old Dutch.
 
Try the Amsterdam Maritime Museum;very good map collection.
 
Or try the Royal Library in the Hague (also in the Netherlands).
 
Another try is the University of Amsterdam faculty of Ruimtelijke Wetenschappen:

Take into account that it is holidaytime in the Netherlands right now.
 
Let me know how you fared.
