This map shows the lots and their hinterlands laying north of the Commewijne river.
The scope ranges from the western (left on the map) coast near the Bramspunt to the Livonia plantation located to the northeast (right above on the map) inside the Warapa Creek.
Some lots are designated, the hinterlands that can be added to these lots are drawn with a dotted line and the red borders indicate lots which can be sold freely after the forest is cleared.
The Nieuw Amsterdam fortress is depicted for orientation.
