Can anyone tell me if there is a mapsite on the Internet where I can locate Borasiri Creek in Guyana. Thanks Tian

Hello Tian, A reproduction of the 1759 map drawn by L Lodewyk van Bercheyck, shows two spots located at the mouth of River Essequibo, on the east side. No 1 is spelt Boerasirie Kreek and is surrounded by two coffe plantations. East of the creek is Litr A; (no name) owned by F.J Mushack and west of the creek is Litr a; "Zeelucht" owned by Jan Baptist Struys. Further west (or south-west) is no 2, spelt Boehoeresirie Kreek with a spot named "Brandwacht" owned by the WIC (D´Edele Compagnie´s) Give me your address and I will send you a xerox-copy of the map.

Boerasirie gets the largest number of hits this must be the right name

Tian, Online you might try David Rumsey's map site. http://www.davidrumsey.com/ I find it an excellent online source of old maps, and you are able to navigate around them, zoom etc. If you've never used the site B4, just choose the "insight Browser"; search/by country/list. Double clicking on the desired map will open it in a separate window. Lisa J
