Map of a parcel near Paramaribo
Meester, Roeland de
Title Leupe: Kaart van een stuk land, gelegen achter Paramaribo naast het land van Jan de Loef.
This survey of a parcel near Paramaribo was conducted for the land surveyor himself. De Meester received this piece of land from Governor Johan Goetier on 1 July 1719. Not coincidently, the lot of Goetier lays directly south of it. In addition, the land of Jan de Loef lays west of it. The extent of the parcel turns out to be 200 Surinamese acres or 86 hectares and the survey was ratified on 9 January 1720.
