riksberg-hajstorp250.jpg (13303 bytes)Section of Elias Schveder's general map from 1784. This map shows the newly proposed stretch of the canal in relation to the older proposal, which was 10 years older. Riksberg (Rixberg) is marked faintly in pencil, in connection with an oval-shaped drumlin.

Riksberg and its elevated buildings can be seen clearer on Daniel Thunberg's map from 1874. The new stretch of canal is marked with a line. The village of Slättebergs By is also drawn on the map.

Of particular interest on the map is the straight boundary line that has limited the building development of the village Riksbergs By. The Riksberg Lock, which took an unusually short time to build (only two building seasons), was ready for use in 1820.
