de Lavaux, Alexander

Title Leupe: Kaart van het derde gedeelte van de Plantagie Bruynsburg.

This map shows the survey of one lot of the Bruynsburg plantation.

The owner, Sir Pimper, appears to have requested the survey himself.

The extent of the lot turns out to be 430 Surinamese acres (184.9 hectares) and it is located southeast (top of the map) of the Commewijne river.

The borders of the lot are indicated with the letters: K, I, H, N, M, L.

De Lavaux signed the map on 29 May 1732 and it was ratified on 3 June 1732.

The lot is located to the north (left on the map) from the land of Paulus Pieterson and the Utrecht plantation.

Scale of 100 Chains of 66 Rhineland Feet= 123 ‘strepen’.

Taken from; [OBP Suriname] 1732 [fols.] 1096-1097.
