Description

This map provides a highly detailed representation of Southeast Asia, focusing on the important island groups that were critical to European trade and colonization during the 18th century. It highlights the strategic locations of the Dutch settlements in the Sunda and Molucca Islands, emphasizing their role in controlling the lucrative spice trade.

The map depicts major islands such as Sumatra, Borneo, Java, and Celebes (Sulawesi), as well as the Philippine Islands, illustrating their geographic features, settlements, and navigational routes. Prominent locations like Batavia (modern Jakarta), a key Dutch port in Java, are marked alongside major rivers, mountain ranges, and other notable geographical elements. Islands are meticulously labeled, with place names often reflecting their colonial designations.

This map offers a glimpse into the geopolitical importance of these island chains during the 18th century, especially as they pertained to European colonial interests, trade networks, and the control of spice-producing regions, particularly the Moluccas, known as the "Spice Islands."
