Map of the state of Cundinamarca, 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 Cundinamarca during the period of the United States of Colombia and before the territorial reform that divided Colombia into departments in 1905.

The former department of Cundinamarca bordered the department of Tolima to the west, the departments of Antioquia and Santander to the north, the department of Boyacá to the northeast, and the department of Cauca to the southwest (although it is not shown on the map). The capital was located in the city of Bogotá.
