Awesome pictures!
Enjoy this map of Taiwan (Formosa) By: Francois Valentijn, 1727. It is the earliest European made map to focus on the island, which the Dutch attempted to turn into a major trading post in the 1700s, but were driven out by the Chinese and local tribes.
Here is a closeup of the Taipei area

that's a very cool map you have there, it's almost un-recogniseable. Thank you for showing me another piece of history that I had absolutely no idea about!
