Cooten, Hendrik van

Title Leupe: Kaart van het land van de Brandwacht, gelegen aan de Oostwal der riviere Demerary.

This ground plan of the land of Brandwacht dating from the beginning of 1779 gives an impression of what this post, created in 1748, looked like prior to the enlargements and fortifications carried out later that year or shortly afterwards.

Scale-bars of 50 Rods = [approximately 1 : 2,990] / 40 Rods = [approximately 1 : 1,000].
