Description
Antonio García Cubas (1832-1912) taught himself surveying and cartography and then did what no one had done: he mapped the Mexican republic as a whole, from its own sources rather than from foreign surveys. This memoir is the map's companion — how the boundaries were established, which observations were trusted, what remained unknown. It appeared in 1861, between the Reform War and the French intervention, when the extent of the country was a live political question and not merely a technical one. Knowing where the republic ended was part of establishing that it existed. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1861 México edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
