3. Inset island plan – Plan d'une partie de l'île de Cayenne avec l'embouchure de la rivière du même nom: showing the island of Cayenne with rivers, vegetation areas, and geographical detail, useful for colonial administration and navigation.
Above the maps is a comprehensive text block describing administrative divisions, population statistics, geography, and economic data of French Guiana during the early 19th century.
