This map is derived from the Nicolaas Visscher map of c.1655. The most important differences are the indications of the new English colonies Nieu Jorck (New York) and NIEU-JARSEY (New Jersey). The region was captured by the English in 1664, however, it is still named Nieu Nederlandt, though Fort Orange is identified as NOVA ALBANIA.
