Map of the western part of Groot-Banda, taken from the collection of Artus Gijsels.

This part of the island has been subdivided into nutmeg beds A through HH, 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.

The water depths are given all along the coast.

There is a lodge on the coast, and slightly further inland we can see Fort Hollandia.
