"A Mapp of the Sommer Islands"

A map of  Bermuda dated 1622 and prepared by Richard Norwood, surveyor for the Somer's Islands (Bermuda) Company in Bermuda. This map identifies the Adventurers for the Company and their share holdings on the Islands. The majority of these shareholders never actually settled here, but sent others to become Planters.

"The names of the now Adventurers viz this yeare 1622 so neare as we could gather, expressed with numbers that have reference to their shares, which shares are there distinguished and fevered on the land as is here represented by lines.

Touching the common ground in each tribe, in what shares, or where it lies, as it is partly expressed in the Map; So is it mercifully manifested in a Booke of the Survey of the Country, delivered in to the Company."
