On this map of Bali (and parts of Java and Lombok), mountains, trees, fields and settlements are shown pictorially. The coasts are marked with shoals (dots), reefs (crosses), bathymetry (sea depth, in figures) and anchor points (anchor symbols).

This early 18th century maritime map charts the waters between the islands of Java, Madura and Bally (Bali). The web of lines is a rhumbline network, while the numbers indicate sea depth (bathymetry), both used to aid navigation.
