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.
The occupied lots are left empty or sometimes designated, the ones planned are numbered and in case they have been reserved crossed through.
The map depicts which hinterlands can be added to the occupied lots and how the size of these lands differs from the one originally depicted by Helleday (VEL1849-1851).
Scale of 600 Chains of 66 Rhineland Feet = 136 ‘strepen’.
Taken from: [OBP] 1774-1775.
