Map of a parcel at the Pararac Creek

Eyden, Jan Marini van der

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 Greege Christoffel Schultz and Joan Rigter. The extent of the lot is indicated by the letters A-D, and turns out to be 1000 Surinamese acres; that is 430 hectares. Formerly, an 'Indian village' was located around this lot. 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 24 January 1728 and ratified on 28 January 1729.

North is upper right.

Scale-bar of 100 chains of 66 Rhineland feet = 112 ‘strepen’.
