Title Leupe: Kaart van een stuk land, gelegen in de Pararac Creeq, regts in het opvaren.

This survey of a parcel at the Pararac creek was requested by Pieter de Puijs. The extent of the lot is indicated by the letters A-D, and turns out to be 500 Surinamese acres; that is 215 hectares. The annotation at the upper right side of the map tells of the warrant and the one at the bottom of bordering plantations. The map was signed on 20 January 1728 and ratified on 26 March 1729.
