This geological map of Aruba was published in Johann Karl Ludwig Martin's Bericht uber eine Reise nach Niederlandisch West-Indien. It features a color-coded legend identifying 8 geological types that can be found on the island. A cross-section of land is shown at top right and corresponds to the line formed by "A" and "B" on the map. Martin was a professor of geology at Leiden University from 1877 to 1922, and his work on the Dutch Antilles is based on his expedition to the islands in 1884.
