Title Leupe: Project Caarte van een Kostgrond voor de Ed. Societeit. (Sociëteit van Suriname).

This project plan shows five new parcels to the north (upper left on the map) of fort Zeelandia. The garden for the Society of Suriname is delineated in red, the plantation Ma Retraitre in yellow and the new piece of land of J. Caucanas in green. In addition, buildings, canals and the fort are drawn. At the end of the eighteenth century, this area would be used for urban extension.

Scale-bar of 50 chains of 66 Rhineland feet = 118 ‘strepen’.
