Description

This geometric-topographical plan from 1883 is a documentary piece of great historical value that reflects the territorial and administrative reality of Sant Miquel de Campmajor at the end of the 19th century. In a context of the consolidation of modern states and the development of cartography as a governance tool, this document exemplifies the will of the institutions to control and organize the territory. Its existence in a rural municipality highlights the penetration of modern administrative practices into the smallest corners of the country. In addition, it is part of a set of six maps that offer a detailed view of the territory, contributing to the collective memory and understanding of the evolution of the Catalan landscape.
