The map was created by the english cartographer Charles Smith in 1809.

In 1809, the region was characterized by European colonial powers' presence, particularly the British and the Dutch. The British East India Company had a strong presence in various parts of the Indian subcontinent, including India, Bangladesh, and parts of modern-day Myanmar (Burma). The company was involved in trade, commerce, and governance in these territories.

The Dutch East India Company, on the other hand, was active in the Indonesian Archipelago, controlling regions such as Java, Sumatra, and the Moluccas (also known as the Spice Islands). The Dutch were heavily involved in the spice trade and maintained significant control over these territories.

Other European powers like the French and the Portuguese also had some presence in the region, mainly in trading posts and colonies.

Charles Smith (1715-1762) was a notable English cartographer known for his work in the mid-18th century. He is often associated with his contributions to the field of mapmaking, particularly in the context of the British colonies in North America.

One of his most significant works is the "The English Atlas," published in 1749. This atlas contained detailed and accurate maps of various British American colonies, including Virginia, Maryland, Carolina, New England, and others. His maps were well-regarded for their accuracy and level of detail, providing valuable geographic information for settlers, explorers, and merchants.
