\"Map<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This map was created by Spanish cartographer Tom\u00e1s L\u00f3pez de Vargas Machuca in 1785 and published posthumously by his sons in the \u201cGeographical Atlas of Spain<\/a>\u201d from 1804. The map depicts the district of Reynosa with the territorial boundaries prior to the reform of the provincial administration by Javier de Burgos in 1833.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the 18th century, the Reynosa District was one of the three constituent districts of the former Province of Toro, along with the Bullfighting match<\/a> and the Carri\u00f3n match<\/a>. The three settlements are completely isolated from each other, which is why Tom\u00e1s L\u00f3pez mapped them independently, as he notes on the map itself. It bordered the south-west with the Province of Palencia<\/a> and the rest was embedded next to the Staff of Laredo and the Province of Li\u00e9bana<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This district was divided into the Royal Valley of Valderredible and seven brotherhoods: Enmedio, Suso, Cinco Villas, Iuso, Vadolea, Carabeos, and Valdeprado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the territorial reorganisation of 1833, the Province of Toro disappeared and the District of Carri\u00f3n became part of the Province of Cantabria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
