Córdoba 1901: A Cartographic Journey Through Andalusia’s Heartland in Spain
Located in Langweer, NL
The map provided is of the province of Córdoba, part of the autonomous community of Andalusia in southern Spain, as of the year 1901. It details various elements:
The map displays the varied terrain of Córdoba, including the Sierra Morena to the north and the beginning of the Subbaetic Range to the south.
