Map of a piece of land owned by Daniel Pichot located at Paulus Creek
Meester, Roeland de
Titel Leupe : Kaart van een stuk land, gelegen in de Paulus Kreek, van Daniel Pichot
This map shows the location and extent of Daniel Pichot’s land.
As his land lays deep into the creek and near a swamp, attention is given on how to reach it by boat from the Surinam River.
His land lays north (right side of the map) of that of the Jew Rodrigo Gimenes and east (right on the map) of the plantation Puttensorgh.
Daniel Pichot requested the survey himself and turns out to possess a thousand Surinam acres of land (roughly 1063 modern acres).
It is not clear what kind of crops he grows.
The map only depicts the extensive swamp and an Indian village.
This survey took place on 13 December 1719 and was recognized on 18 January 1720.
