Wall map of the Chilean parts of the Magellan Straits and southern Patagonia centered on Punta Arenas.
This extraordinary wall map was published by the Chilean army. “Destacamento” is a term for a military deployment. The title of the map can be read as a “walking map of n Patagonia”, suggesting that it was also for civilian use. The map bears superb detail for the period. Four sheets joined, laid on new linen. Original colour. [SAM3550]
