Yes, I noticed they are reviving those too.  Over here in Zemst they 
recently put up name signs on the 'kerkwegen'.   And references to that 
Atlas have been made in the past, just can't find it directly.   But 
that's a good suggestion.

That's how I did Bonheiden/Rijmenam, with an image (licence free) as a 
separate layer, so no real georeferences.
