In 1755, Johann Gottfried Meinicke created a map entitled "Plan of the city of Bochum and the roads belonging to its jurisdiction". By Carl Arnold Kortum a floor plan of the city of Bochum dates from 1790; the original has been lost since 1954; Kortum himself resorted to the older so-called Kramer card.
Friedrich Christoph Müller drew the county of Mark in 1791 with its offices and mines ( topographic map of the county of Mark ). The surveyor Johann Friedrich Conrad Niemeyer created, among others, the Niemeyer map of Bochum in the years 1791 to 1793 on a scale of 1: 6640. There is still a copy of it from the time of the French occupation. It depicts farms, mills, mines, noble houses and streets very precisely.
In 1800 Johann Ehrenfried Honigmann published an edition on a scale of 1: 25,000 based on the Niemeyer's map.
