Map of the island of Nieuw-Guinea [i.e. Papua New Guinea] and showing parts of the northern coast of Nieuw-Holland [i.e. Australia] to the south. The map shows mountain ranges as well as towns on the eastern and western sides of the islands but no topographic details are shown in the middle of the island presumably due to the impenetrable undergrowth. Relief is shown by hachures, shading and spot heights.
