The classic series of the analogue (paper-published) Topographic Maps of the NGI are drawn up according to grids with rectangular meshes that fit together geographically. The different hierarchical levels of layouts in map sheets (1/1 or full map sheet, 1/4 map sheet, 1/8 map sheet and 1/16 map sheet) are included in the dataset 'Map sheet cuts NGI, classic series'. These are regular map sheet grids, oriented parallel to the Belgian Lambert 72 coordinate system, located in Flanders and Brussels. The origin is Belgian Lambert 72 coordinate (2016.60, 138171.59).- The complete or 1/1 map sheets measure 32 km in x-direction and 20 km in y-direction and have been used for the publication of the classic series of the 1 : 50 000 Topographic maps of the NGI (hence the name 1 : 50 000 map sheets).- The 1/4-map sheets or quarter-map sheets measure 16 km x 10 km. These cutouts were used for the publication of the classic series of the 1 : 25 000 topographic maps.- The 1/8-map sheets measure 8 km x 10 km. The classic series of the 1 : 10 000 Topographic maps use these cutouts.- The 1/16 map sheets measure 8 km x 5 km.
