Nice example of the second edition of Arent Roggeveen's map of New Jersey (published by Robyn), western Long Island and Manhattan, which first appeared in Roggeveen's Brandende Veen in 1675.Roggeveen's map is one of the earliest printed sea charts to focus on the area between Manhattan and the Delaware River. The map is drawn largely from Pieter Goos' Paskaerte Van de Zuydt en Noordt Revier in Nieu Nederlant Streckende van Cabo Ninloopen tot Rechkewach, first printed in 1666, but includes more of Long Island and is oriented with west at the top (Goos' map is oriented with north northwest at the top).The map shows Fort Casimer, but pre-dates the appearance of Philadelphia. Fort Cristina is also shown. Colacke hoecke on the east bank of the Delaware River is the only new place name.Roggeveen's chart of the area from Manhattan to the mouth of the Delaware River is the second printed chart to focus on New Jersey and the Delaware Valley. The Dutch had established the colony of New Netherlands in 1624, but by 1638, Sweden had established a competing / encroaching settlement (in part with the help of an alienated Dutch settler), with the founding of Ft. Christina. In 1651, the Dutch established Ft. Kasimer on the Delaware to counter the Swedish claims. The issue was in dispute until Peter Styvesant's capture of Ft. Christina in 1655.
