Map of Honduras and El Salvador (1894)

This map, published by William M. Bradley in 1894, shows the republics of Honduras and El Salvador.

Both countries are subdivided on the map into their respective departments, according to the territorial organisation of these countries at the end of the 19th century, although they do not include the last departments established in Honduras after 1881.

Due to its size, El Salvador has territories represented by numbers, which correspond to the following departments: San Salvador (1), La Libertad (2), Sonsonate (3), Ahuachapán (4), Santa Ana (5), Chalatenango (6), Cuscatlán (7), Cabañas (8), San Miguel (9), Morazán (10), La Unión (11), Usulután (12), San Vicente (13) and La Paz (14).

Honduras, meanwhile, appears divided into the 12 departments that the country had before 1881: Choluteca, Colón, Comayagua, Copán, Gracias a Dios, El Paraíso, Isla de la Bahía, La Paz, Olancho, Santa Bárbara, Yoro and Francisco Morazán (labelled on the map as Tegucigalpa).
