This map of the Cape Colony appears in the Dutch edition of Kolbe's Naauwkeurige en Uitvoerige Beschryving van de Kaap de Goede Hoop vol. 1 of 1727. It extends from `Blaauwenberg' and Robben Island to just past Gordon's Bay, as far as the Stellenbosch River. The Fort has plantations to the north-east of it. Owners of farms at that period are named — Captain Olaf Berg, Jan Hendrik Hattung, Jacob Vogel, etc. The land near the Hottentots Holland Mountains is called `Ferdinand Appels Land'. In the peninsula the `Kalk oven' is in `Esselsteyn's Baay of Kalk Baay' which is very large; to the north are `Sand Valey' and `Groote Zee Koe Valey'. Near the `Bergen van Noorwegen' in the south peninsula is the land where the elands grazed and just north of this are the `vee landen' and forests belonging to the Company.
