Map 2
The colony of Suriname with limited information about the vast interior. Years and names indicate spots reached by earlier expeditions. Names and years on the lower half of the map mostly refer to explorers who reached Suriname’s border from the Brazilian side. “onbekend” translates as “unknown”, “onvolledig bekend” as “not fully known”.
