Title Leupe: “Kaart van het Oostelyk gedeelte van Suriname, tusschen Commewyne en Marawyne.”

This map shows the approximately one hundred plantations at the Commewijne River and the Cottica Creek. All lots are designated with their names as well as reference numbers and letters. This likely concerns a copy of the maps found under VEL1670. Judging from the multiple plantations around the source of the Commewijne river, this map appears to reflect the situation after the 1730s; when a new round of cultivation started.
