Note:
|
On the map are depicted Macau, the Green Island, the east part of Wanzai and a small part of Xiaohengqin. It also seems to be a hydrographic plan for it gives detailed soundings of the Inner Harbor and other surrounding areas of Macau. The built-up area is geometrical, typical of a plan, and it has identified all the forts on the legend beneath the title. This seems to be an unfinished map of Macao for the manuscript note underneath the legend gives instructions to coloring that never took place.
