Historical Country Mapping Information

Imagery

The islands were mapped by the Dutch air survey company KLM-Aerocarto in the period 1960-63 and the maps were published by the Dienst van het Kadaster van de Nederlandse Antillen (DKNA), Willemstad in 1971. The sheets covering Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao and Sint Maarten were at the scale of 1:25,000 and those of Sint Eustatius and Saba at 1:10,000. There was also a 1:10,000 scale town map of Willemstad. New editions were prepared in the late 1970s from 1977 air photography, these sheets were printed in six colors, and published in 1985. The projection is UTM, International ellipsoid, and there is a 10 m contour interval. The legend is in Dutch and English, and there is much vegetation information, including mangrove, woodland, scrub, orchard, coconut plantations and aloe cultivation.
