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).

The focus of this map of Java (‘Iava Maior’) is the line of settlements along the north coast of the island, including the important port of Bantem (‘Bantam’) at the northwest. In contrast, the interior of the island is almost completely blank.

This early 17th century map of the island of Bali shows palaces, settlements and possibly some temples. Ships can be seen at anchor around the coast. The map is from a Latin language book which includes text describing Bali.
