From Sauthier's map published in London in 1779, from data in colonial offices. The map was prepared for military purposes and shows minute details as to hofstedes, indicating with remarkable detail, buildings and enclosures. It may be considered as accurate enough for the period from 1730 to 1780. (Photo-engraving.)
