Design for fort at the east bank of the Demerara estuary
Heneman, Johan Christoph von
Title Leupe: Fort aan den mond der rivier Demerary op 's Comps. Pad Oostwal.
This map forms part of Johan Christoph Heneman’s project plans for the Demerara defences of 1774-1775.
The maps under VEL1554-7 show two forts designed for the river mouth, both of which also feature on his survey on his overview under VEL660.
This is a plan for a fort at the mouth of the Demerara River.
A profile of the fortress has been drawn below on the map.
Scale-bars of 20 Rhineland Rods = [approximately 1 : 775] / [profile] 60 feet [or] 5 Rhineland Rods = [approximately 1 : 175].
