Meester, Roeland de

Title Leupe: Kaart van een stuk land gelegen in de rivier Cottica, links in het afvaren.

This map demarcates the land of Nicolaes Schreuder on the south bank (left on the map) of the Cottica river.

The survey is made on request of Nicolaes Schreuder to indicate the land is in his possession since 19 February 1718.

The land turns out to measure 1150 Surinamese acres (494.5 hectares).

The plantation is situated next to the plantation of Sir Samuel Althusius Nom Aroris.

The map was signed by the surveyor on 26 July 1719 and ratified on 28 July 1719.
