    Description

    Title of the map:
    "PLAN DE L'Habitation LA MONTAGNE située à St Pierre - Martinique, contenant 521 hectares, 08 ares, 83 centiares, appartenant aux héritiers PECOUL"
    It was at the foot of the volcano, in 1651, that Jacques Duparquet created one of the first Habitations of the island.
    It was called "La Montagne Habitation" at the time. They produced in the era of indigo and tobacco and then turned to the cultivation of cane and the production of sugar.
    In the 19th century, the Habitation was bought by the Pécoul family.
    It is from this acquisition that the estate begins to distill rum.
    The business flourished until 1902, when "Pelee Mountain" erupted.
    The city of Saint-Pierre and the Habitation were completely razed.
    Seven years later, in the midst of the ruins, Victor Depaz took over the estate and rebuilt the distillery.
    The Habitation has been named after him. The plantation Depaz is now of the most beautiful plantations in Martinique.
    Very large detailed hand drawn plan of the famous plantation La Montagne, situated in St Pierre (Martinique), of 19th Century.
    This plan is signed by Laguarigue de Chevillier, Notary in La Martinique.
