Map of the Province of Santa Cruz, Argentina (1892)

This map, drawn by Arturo Seelstrang in 1892, is part of the Geographical Atlas of the Argentine Republic (1882–1892), published by the Argentine Geographical Institute.

Entitled «Gobernación de Santa Cruz» (Governorate of Santa Cruz), the map shows the territory that was then known as the National Territory of Santa Cruz. This included the current province of Santa Cruz in Argentina, with the same territorial boundaries as today.

The National Territory of Santa Cruz was established in 1884, and it did not become the province of Santa Cruz until 1956.
