About this piece

Northern South America, "South America (Northern Sheet)" by Keith Johnston, a color-printed map published in 1903 by W. & A.K. Johnston, Limited, of Edinburgh and London. The title and scale bars are lettered at the upper right.

The sheet covers the north and west of the continent: Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru on the left, Bolivia at the bottom, the Guianas along the north Atlantic coast, and the vast northern half of Brazil filling the right. National boundaries are tinted in color. The Amazon and its tributaries are traced across the whole interior, with the Andes drawn in hachures along the Pacific side, and the dense scatter of town names concentrates along the coasts and along the rivers. At the top the sheet names the West India Islands, and at the lower left an inset shows the Galapagos Islands, drawn at larger scale off the coast of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean.

The map shows the continent's political layout in 1903, including Panama as part of Colombia's northwestern corner, since that country's separation took place in November of that year.
