Sažetak
The map made in 1780 shows the area of Đurđevec’s Podravina with particular emphasis on hydroregulational undertakings on the river Drava and its basin. The value of the map lies in the fact that it origins from the time before systematic measures and before more significant undertakes on Drava’s flow. Therefore the map offers valuable data about the appearance of this part of Podravina and the influence that river Drava had on landscape in the second half of 18th century. The purpose of this work is to try to detect in which ways, how strong, of which intensity and in which places did the Drava positive and negative influence on forming the landscape of Đurđevec’s Podravina. Thereat it is researched the flow of the river Drava, brooks (particulary Bistra as most significant flow after the Drava in this part of Podravina), swamps/ponds, minor brooks, dead meanders, ditches, canals, dikes, and also planned hydraulic engineering projects which manifests itself in cutting through the Drava’s meanders, digging canals through swapms and between minor flows, and building of dikes. As special form of economic use of the water of the Drava there are researches of watermills located on the banks of the Drava and on brooks. The Drava and its basin have notably influenced on the organization of arable land areas in Đurđevec’s Podravina: meadows, fields, pastures and woods, but also of lodgings. Water landscape has influenced on development of roads system, specially of those that lead to structured crossings over the Drava and to river and brook watermills. Brod, Đurđevec, Hlebine, and Kalinovec are settlements whose physiognomic-morphologic features are mostly conditioned by the basin of the Drava. After analysis of this map we conclude that the river Drava, with its basin, has significantly influenced on forming the landscape in the part of Podravina that is shown on the map.
