This map section, part of a larger map of the Dutch East Indies, depicts a region of the archipelago including the "Mindoro Zee" and the "Solonche Zee." The map's intricate details, including coastlines, islands, and place names, were crafted for navigational purposes, demonstrating the importance of cartography during the colonial era. The map's inscription reveals it was produced for the "Koninklijk Militaire Akademie," highlighting its intended audience within the Dutch military.
