Old Map Of South America

In the program teams of two have to race across South America. From Mexico City to the world’s southernmost city Ushuaia in Argentina.

They are not allowed to use flights. Have a limited budget and no phones or internet. Just like travel in the old days.

I know very little about South America the nearest I have got is a beach holiday in Mexico. Having watched the program, I now want to go further south and visit the South American continent.

A lovely example of one of the earliest obtainable decorative maps of the South American continent. Drawn by the Dutch cartographer Jodocus Hondius.

Eastern Brazil is depicted as an island. It is made insular by a huge Rio de la Plata that extends from the Atlantic in the south to a large lake, Eupana Lacus. From this lake, the Rio Grande flows further northward into the Amazon River and from there into the Atlantic.

Interestingly, on the map Paraquay is a lot larger than it’s now. There is a large central region described as the country of the Amazones.

The map reflects a considerable advancement in American cartography of the time as well as a general increase in knowledge regarding America’s interior from explorations and colonizations.

This is probably the most important two-panel wall map of South America produced in the 18th century. The map depicts the continent in full with an inset of the Falkland Islands.

This map is unique in that it is a serious attempt to compile all of the accurate scientific knowledge of the South American continent available at the time. It offers a smorgasbord of factual, speculative, and historical detail.

The cartographer attempts to depict both known and unknown parts of the continent with actual data reported by both contemporary and historic travelers.

The map covers the entire continent from the Caribbean to Tierra del Fuego and from the Pacific to the Atlantic. It includes the Galapagos, Juan Fernandez, Falkland and South Georgia island groups.

The map is hand colored in pink, green, yellow and blue pastels to define national and regional boundaries. Surrounded by Colton’s typical spiral motif border.

Any of these maps would look stunning printed out and framed. For a high-quality print I recommend sending the downloaded files to be printed from an online print shop. They should recommend a high-quality paper to print the maps onto.

If printing at home, I like to print my maps on to matte photo paper. Make sure that you go into the advance settings of your printer and select the best quality print.

Don’t just display printed maps on the wall. Use them for crafts and DIYs to make unique map decor for the home.
