(Singapore, Sumatra, Malaysia, Straits of Malacca) Sumatra Ein Grosse Insel / So Von Den alten Geographen Taprobana . . .

An interesting map of Sumatra and the southern part of Malaysia. A city at the southern tip of the Malaysian peninsula named Cing may represent Singapore. Despite surprising accuracy in the rest of the map, the Straits of Malacca lack some detail. Pulau Ujong (Singapore Island) is not shown, and several other major islands including Batam, Bintam, and Rupat are hard to identify. Batam and the Straits of Singapore may be guessed at, but it is hard to tell if this was by chance or design. Lingga is shown, along with a cluster of islands that could be interpreted in several ways. Sumatra is slightly compressed, though its shape and positioning are roughly accurate. Upper Java is labeled, and off the coast of Sumatra are islands roughly aligning with the Mentawais. However, many of the islands on this map do not correspond to any on modern maps, somewhat typical of the time.
