Map of the state of Bolívar, Colombia (1864)

This map was created by Colombian cartographers Manuel María Paz and Manuel Ponce de León in 1864 and published in 1865 in the Atlas of the United States of Colombia. The map depicts the state of Bolívar during the period of the United States of Colombia and before the territorial reform that divided Colombia into departments in 1905.

The former state of Bolívar bordered the state of Magdalena to the east, the state of Antioquia to the south, the state of Cauca to the west, and the Caribbean Sea to the north. The capital was located in the city of Cartagena de Indias.
