Van Sevenhoven is fairly unclear on this section, I am by reading Sloet not convinced of there being two maalschappen. This land used to be landsheerlijk domain, though in the 19th century the lands were considered to be owned by the malen. Containing the buurschappen Kootwijk, kootwijkerbroek and Essen. The fields were however not within the boundaries of the buurschappen. Division of this maalschap took 13 years because of the strange make-up. Apparently the geërfden in the bos had full access to the fields tough the geërfden of the fields had only marginal rights in the bos.
