Map of the state of Antioquia, 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 Antioquia 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 Antioquia bordered the state of Tolima to the south, the states of Cundinamarca and Santander to the east, the state of Bolívar to the north, and the state of Cauca to the west. The capital was located in the city of Medellín.
