The Afgedamde Maas was until 1904 a part of the Meuse river. The Bergse Maas has been opened that year, to divert the flow of the Meuse from the route now called Afgedamde Maas (Dammed Up Meuse). The latter is still connected to the Meuse through the Heusden Canal.

The Afgedamde Maas joins the Waal near Woudrichem to form the Boven Merwede.

There is a car ferry, not operating on Sundays, and a foot passenger ferry. [1]
