This map shows a project plan for the area laying between the Suriname river and the Saramacca river and adjacent to Paramaribo.
This draft shows the newly planned roads and gardens.
Attention is put on Paramaribo's hinterland and the creeks and passages of the Saramacca river.
The numbers 1 up till 11 in the legend give personal names associated with the 11 lots (land and gardens) to the north of Paramaribo.
This map is nearly equal to VEL1764.
