The map depicts various regions of Southeast Asia, including Borneo, the Philippines, Thailand, and Sumatra. Each area is meticulously outlined with precision and accuracy.

These vessels symbolize both exploration and trade routes that were crucial during this era. They serve as a reminder of how interconnected these distant lands once were. Flags proudly wave atop certain locations on the map, representing different nations' presence in these territories. It serves as a testament to Europe's colonial ambitions during this period.
