Seven locations in the Dutch East Indies on one sheet: the islands of Borneo, Sumatra, Celebes (Sulawesi), Ambon and Banda, the city of Padang and its region on the west coast of Sumatra, and the tip of the Minahasa Peninsula (northern Celebes).

This map of central Sumatra is dominated by the rivers that flow east, from the west coast mountain ranges to the Malacca Strait (labelled ‘Zee van Riouw’). The largest is the Batang Hari River that flows through the city of Djambi (modern Jambi).
