Samuel de Champlain's Maps of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico

Whilst perusing the internet at night looking for sources on Xaragua, Haiti, and the indigenous Caribbean, as one is wont to do, we came across some beautiful maps of Samuel de Champlain. Champlain, who traveled to Hispaniola and Puerto Rico in the beginning of the 17th century, is one of the few cartographers to include images of Native American peoples inhabiting the Greater Antilles at this time. While one must him very carefully as a source, it is intriguing to note that de Champlain wrote about "Indians" on Hispaniola who were fond of the French. He similarly noted the presence of "Indians" in San Juan, Puerto Rico. 

Samuel de Champlain's beautiful maps and illustrations also include the area around La Yaguana (Hispaniola) as well as scenes like Monte Cristi. It's unfortunately that more beautifully illustrated works have not survived showing Hispaniola and Puerto Rico in the early 17th century. Furthermore, based on his map, Yaquimo must have been located closer to what later became Aquin in the French colonial period. This seems to also have been the case in Exquemelin's account, which associated Aquin and Yaquimo together.
