Title: Pascaarte [pas caarte] van Nieu Nederlandt uytgegeven door Arnold Colom t’ Amsterdam…
- 1656 -
An early Dutch sea chart of New Netherland with Virginia and New England by Arnold Colom, depicting in detail the Atlantic coast of North America, approximately from today’s Gloucester, Massachusetts to the north, to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina to the southwest.
The main provinces are outlined in a different color and marked as Virginia, Nieu Nederlant, and Nieu Engelant. Early English settlements in New England are clearly identified as Salem, Baston (Boston), Pleymuyt (Plymouth), etc.
New Netherland included territories of today’s states of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
New Netherland 'Novi Belgoo Novaeqe Angliae Nec Non PartisOVI BELGII NOVAEQUE ANGLIAE NEC NON PARTIS VIRGINIAE TABULA'
Vervaardigd in ca. 1684.This map of the current New England was published by Nicolaes Visscher II (1649-1702).
Visscher copied first a map by Jan Janssonius (1588-1664) from 1651 and added a view of New Amsterdam, the current Manhattan.
The map is very accurate: each European town which existed at the time has been represented.
