This 18th-century map of Suriname, created by Alexander de Lavaux, is a detailed illustration of the region's geography, including its rivers, coastline, and internal landforms. It utilizes a combination of green and beige tones to depict the landscape and includes a compass rose and a scale for reference. The map is a significant example of cartography from the colonial era and offers a valuable insight into the exploration and mapping of Suriname during this period.
