Vermeulen, which is preserved in the Surinaams Museum in Paramaribo. The map covers the areas along the Suriname River from its mouth to the point where gold exploitation had just begun. The inset maps, depicting cross-sections of the river and showing products from the riverbanks, provide a good picture of the final phase of the plantation era.<\/p>\n<p>The map indicates military occupations, plantations cultivated with sugar, cocoa, and bananas. &#8220;The communication routes mainly consist of narrow forest paths, maybe 4 to 5 paces wide, which become difficult to traverse after heavy rains and are only suitable for pedestrians and horses during the dry season, never for carriages. The names of places in the map are mentioned in red letters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The numbers provided on the map represent approximate hectares of cultivated land, depths at low tide, the number of people at posts or stations, the number of black and other indigenous populations at plantations and territories, and the number of immigrants and students at schools, all represented in red figures.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-1 overflow-hidden\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-uwwcz-79elbk h-full dark:bg-gray-800\"><i>Literature: <\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><i>G.P.H.
