Map of a lot at the Suriname River

Reinet, Jacob

Title Leupe: Kaart van een oude Plantagie, gelegen tusschen de Plantagien Surimonbo en la Diligence.

This survey of a parcel at the Suriname River was requested by mrs. Ribra, the widow of mr. d’Arilar, and by Jospeh Levie. This parcel is located next to the Acaribo plantations and the borders are drawn in accordance with an agreement made earlier that year. The extent turns out to be 300 Surinamese acres (129 hectares). The map was signed on 27 August 1732 and ratified on 20 December 1732.

North is right.
