Description
Fine large official Spanish map of the Iberian Peninsula, with an inset of the Canary Islands.
Published by Spain's Ministry of Public Works, the map presents an unusual graphic style which is unique for the period. The map focuses on Spain's roads, rivers, railroads and other infrastructure, including dams and canals.
Of particular note are the circles and semi-circles radiating out from coastal locations and islands, illustrating the line of site for light houses, existing, under construction and projected.
