Map of the island of Roen, from the collection of Artus Gijsels.
Poelo-Ron.
A mosque is depicted on the left.
The island is subdivided into the nutmeg beds A through Z, but there is no key. The numbers noted indicate the number of 'souls', i.e. the number of slaves that were deemed necessary to work the nutmeg plantation in question.
Cf. Österreichische Nationalbibiothek, Vienna, inv. nr. Van der Hem 40:19
In the north a small island lies off the coast.
