Map of the lands around the Wanica path and its extentions

Title Leupe: Project kaart van de landen welke aan de doorgetrokkene weg van 't pad van Wanica na Pararacs Creeq nog onbegeven zyn openleggende enz.

This cadastral map by Johann Heinrich Moseberg shows the estates along the Pad van Wanica (Wanica Path) and south and southwest of there to beyond Pararac Creek assigned or still to be assigned in 1786-1787. The Wanica Path indicated was the southerly extension of Wanica Street, then the western boundary of Paramaribo and the principal overland access road to the plantation area of Wanica between Para Creek and the Saramacca. Now called Indira Gandhi Road and John F. Kennedy Road, this is the main southern exit road of Paramaribo. When Moseberg surveyed it, about 25 kilometres south of Paramaribo the Path came out onto Pararac Road. If this was followed for a while in a westerly direction, via a patrol path through the forest, one would eventually arrive at the military post Voorzorg on the Saramacca.
