About this piece

Southern South America on a map titled "La Plata, Chili, Paraguay, Uruguay & Patagonia", from The Imperial Atlas of Modern Geography, published by W. G. Blackie in 1859. The sheet is an engraved map with original hand color, the countries outlined in separate tints.

The map covers Chile along the Pacific coast, the Argentine Confederation (lettered La Plata), Paraguay and Uruguay (Banda Oriental), with the Andes as a hachured spine along the western edge and the Parana, Paraguay and Uruguay rivers dominating the interior. The estuary of the Rio de la Plata and the Atlantic coast are shown at right. An inset at lower right is lettered as a continuation of Chili and Patagonia and carries the map further south through Tierra del Fuego to the Strait of Magellan.

The sheet shows the region as it stood in 1859, with Patagonia still largely empty of settlement and the Argentine provinces not yet unified under a single national government.
