Summary:Iconographic sources depicting the Thirty Years' War battlefields in the area of current Czech Republic are represented mainly by the contemporary 17th century graphic arts published in Theatrum Europaeum. The research on the engraving of the 1647 battlefield near to the castle Trebel in Western Bohemia aims to reveal possible ways of origin of the sketch and to verify depicted objects and scenes according to their position within an historical context. The paper presents actual results of interdisciplinary studies combining historical approach with cartographic methods and tools for spatial data proceeding focused on digital terrain model representation and information derived from airborne laser scanning, analyses of the scale of the landscape image, identifying probable observation points used during the original sketch for the engraving, and a comparison of depicted objects with their imprint on other cartographic sources.
