Where is Netherlands?

How to spot Netherlands from satellite imagery

The Rhine-Meuse delta, IJsselmeer, and North Sea coast help orient a regional view of the Netherlands. In closer imagery, canals, drainage ditches, and rectilinear parcels may reveal managed lowland. Large water bodies and coastal barriers provide more context than a single green field.

Find IJsselmeer and the adjoining reclaimed land. Trace the straight embankments and compare them with the more irregular coast farther north.
