This map shows the location of several lots laying on the eastern shore (left on the map) of the Suriname River and closeby to the Nieuw Amsterdam fortress.

Only seven lots are designated: Leliendaal, Nooytgedagt, Marienburgh, Betafor, Richelieu, Monryoos, and La Poir.

The four lots mentioned last are located adjacent to the Paulus Creek and all appear to have French owners.

Fortifications at the river's shore are indicated through circles.

Taken from: [OBP] 1766 [fol.] 75.

Scale of 600 Chains = 80 'strepen'.
