Title Leupe: “Figurative schets der Kolonie Suriname tot aan de Rivier Berbice.”

This map draws out the rivers and creeks laying between the Suriname and Berbice colonies. Through the use of different shades is depicts the cultivated land. Even though the maps appears to be made to indicate the distance between the colonies as well as the stretch of the estuary, its scale-bar has never been filled in showing the drawing was left uncompleted. The lack of designations confirms the sketchy nature of the map.
