Maritime and Terrestrial Survey of Spanish Santander in 1901, An Original Map

About the Item

This antique map is a historical map of the province of Santander (currently known as Cantabria) from the year 1901. Santander is located along the northern coast of Spain, bordering the Cantabrian Sea. This province is characterized by its rich history, stunning coastal landscapes, and the mountain ranges of the Cantabrian Cordillera. The city of Santander, which is the capital of the province, is situated on the coast and is known for its port and its importance as a commercial and cultural hub. The map details the geographical features such as the river systems, including the Ebro and its tributaries, mountain ranges, and the infrastructure present at the time, like railroads and roads. The coastal areas, particularly the bays and beaches, would have been important for trade and fishing, contributing to the local economy. The coat of arms depicted on the map represents the provincial identity, with the ship symbolizing maritime heritage and the royal crown reflecting historical ties to the Spanish monarchy.

Here are the key features it displays: The map shows the central part of Spain, with the Guadarrama mountain range prominently visible, marking the natural border to the north of Madrid. Blue lines likely indicate rivers, including the Manzanares River, which flows through Madrid, and the Jarama River, a tributary to the Tagus.
