Map of the Society lands to the Northeast of Paramaribo

Lieftinck, Franciscus L.

Title Leupe: Kaart van vier stukken Societeyts land, gelegen aan de Bom-creeq. (Sociëteit van Suriname).

The three parcels near Paramaribo which are measured here all belong to the Society of Suriname. Their extent is given in Surinamese acres (1 acre = 0,43 hectares). The lots are located between the land of Sir Coucanas and the mangrove at the bank of the Suriname River. The suggestion is given to cultivate land further west (left on the map) of these lots too. The map is signed on 31 June 1770.

North is upper left.

Scale-bar of 150 chains of 66 Rhineland feet = 235 ‘strepen’.
