Map of lots at the Suriname River

Title Leupe: Kaart van eenige opgemeten gronden tusschen de Plantagien Acaribo en la Rancontre.

This is a survey of numerous parcels at the Suriname River. The first parcel belongs to the Acaribo plantation and is delineated with the letters A-C and X, adjacent to it lays a piece of uncultivated land with the border B-D, and next to that one can find the land belonging to Joh. Sterrenbergh which is indicated though the letters I, H, G, F, E and D and is 'rented by the Waterlandt Plantation'. East of this lot (below on the map) lays the land of Postelt as well as the Waterlandt Plantation. The extent of all these parcels is given in Surinamese acres (1 acre= 0,43 hectare) in the annotation at the bottom left. The map was signed on 30 May 1716.
