The Figurative map of Adriaen Block is a multi-colored print of the eastern North America continent roughly between Delaware Bay and Cape Cod. A large toponym that reads “Niew Vnederlandt” is emblazoned on the map. The landmass shows numerous indigenous nations that inhabited the area such as the “Mahicans” (Mohicans), “Wapanoos” (Wampanoag), and the “Sennecas” (Seneca).
