This rare map of Aruba, one of the Dutch Antilles islands, shows great detail of the topography of the land. Early settlements in Oranjestad and others locations on the island are depicted, along with a numbered key identifying over 60 locations, including areas where gold and silver had been found. The map was based on the explorations of Dutch captains William Augustus van Spengler in 1820 and R. F. van Raders in 1825.
