This map is a copy by J.C. van Heneman, of a large project map for the assignment of 240 new plantations along the Saramacca River, originally made by the military engineer and surveyor Johann Gottfried Rabanus Böhm, who was involved in cultivating the area along the Saramaccafor years as the executor of assigning land. On his printed map of 1801 (VEL1679A en B), Moseberg copied the plan of the project shown here almost unchanged.
