Along the coast
From west to east the sheet shows Nickerie, Coronie and Saramacca, then little Wanica and Paramaribo side by side, then Commewijne and Marowijne. Para and Brokopondo lie just inland, south of them.
One very large district
Sipaliwini fills the whole interior, south of the other nine districts, and touches all three neighbors: Guyana, French Guiana and Brazil. Nickerie, in the northwest, touches Guyana, and Marowijne, in the northeast, touches French Guiana.
- Paramaribo is the smallest shape, so its number stands in a ring at sea, joined to it by a line.
