This trigonometrical chart of the island of Arzenie was drawn by Lieutenant M. Houghton as part of the survey undertaken in these waters by Lieutenants J. M. Guy, G. B. Brucks and R. Cogan. The survey was conducted between 1822 and 1825, on behalf of the Honorable East India Company Marine Service. The chart itself is dated 1823.

In the waters around the island the track of the vessel taking the hydrographical soundings can be clearly seen. Also shown is the ‘Foul ground’ to the east and south of the island. The chart reveals no signs of settlement such as fresh water wells, or evidence of buildings.

True Meridian is shown. Within the Remarks, latitude and longitude are given as 24º 47’ 54” North, 52º 42’ 15” East, with a variation of 4º 50’ West (these are taken from the north end of the island). On a point of interest, the island is located at 24º 80’ 85”, 52º 55’ 02”.
