Map of the Ma Retraite Plantation to the Northeast of Paramaribo

Title Leupe: Kaart van eenige landen, gelegen tusschen Paramaribo en de Bom-creeq.

This survey of the plantation Ma Retraire near Paramaribo was requested by the owner as well as Governor-General, Jan Nepveu. The eastern border of the lot is judged most important and indicated with the letters D, G, and L. Surrounding lands are described in general terms. At the bottom right a suggestion can be found to cultivate the lands around the Sommeldijk Creek. Around the Zeelandia fort several clues are given on how to conduct such a project. The reference numbers found there are linked to the index at the lower right of the map.

North is upper left.
