This is Van Keulen's 1695 nautical chart or maritime map of Chesapeake Bay, Delaware Bay, and the adjacent coastlines. It is one of the first charts to utilize the 1673 Hermann map as a source, making it one of the most up-to-date charts of the region - and a vast improvement on the 1675 Roggeveen, specifically because Van Keulen's chartmaker, Vooght, relied on the English Hermann map rather than Hessel Gerritz's c. 1630 chart.
