Map of the department of Boyacá, 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 Boyacá 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 Boyacá bordered the state of Cundinamarca to the south, the state of Santander to the north-west, and Venezuela to the north-east. The capital was located in the city of Tunja.
