Burgos 1902: Geographic Map of Castile's Historic Heartland in Spain
About the Item
The map of the province of Burgos in the autonomous community of Castile and León in Spain, dated 1902. It includes the following features:
The map highlights the varied terrain with the northern part of the province being more mountainous, which includes the Cantabrian Mountains, and the southern part consisting of the northern Meseta Central, a high plateau.
Blue lines represent rivers and lakes, including the notable Arlanzón River which passes through the city of Burgos. Red lines trace the roads and railways, indicating the transportation infrastructure connecting Burgos with other areas. Various symbols mark the locations of cities, towns, and villages, with the capital city of Burgos likely being the most prominent.
The legend (Signos Convencionales) explains the symbols used on the map for provincial capitals, roads, railways, and boundaries.
The coat of arms of Burgos is displayed, featuring a castle, representative of the Castile region, and two keys, which may symbolize authority and guardianship. It is highlighted with gold.
About the province of Burgos:
Burgos is historically significant as part of the former Crown of Castile. It is renowned for its architectural landmarks, particularly the Burgos Cathedral, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The province's landscape is diverse, with parts of the fertile Ribera del Duero wine region to the southwest and scenic natural areas like the Sierra de la Demanda. The region has a rich history, with several archaeological sites dating back to the earliest human settlements in Europe, including the Sierra de Atapuerca, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. The traditional economy of Burgos has been based on agriculture, but it also has a developed industrial sector, and the service sector has grown, particularly around tourism, driven by the province's cultural heritage and natural beauty.
