Extremely Rare Map of Jamaica, used at the time to chart geographical distribution of sugar industry at its peak. First edition. extremely rare map of Jamaica, only 3 copies recorded in OCLC. This striking large-scale map is one of the most sought-after maps of Jamaica. James Robertson was unusual among Jamaica’s land surveyors in that he was known for his regional cartography rather than as a plantation surveyor. In 1796 Robertson was appointed by the House of Assembly to survey the island and produce a map of each county, and one of the entire island, for £7,500. In all, Robertson received £10,450, certainly the most profitable cartographic exercise in Jamaica.
