Description:
|
|
| Patagonia, shown in excellent detail and marked with the progress of the International Boundary Commission. The Commission was tasked to solve a dispute between Chile and Argentina on the placement of the border in the Andes of Patagonia. This was officially known as the Cordillera of the Andes Boundary Case (1902) and the Commission was placed under the supervision of Sir Thomas Hungerford Holdich. The map shows both the route of the Commission as well as the final settled border. Printed Colour. [SAM3366] |
