An Atlas produced by an expedition in central Sumatra, including: maps of topography, geology, a number of rivers in the region; drawings of mountains, graphs of lengths of roads; family trees of the royal families of Djambi (Jambi) and Palembang.

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).
