This map was created by Spanish cartographer Tom\u00e1s L\u00f3pez de Vargas Machuca in 1765 and published posthumously by his sons in the \u00abGeographical Atlas of Spain<\/a>\u00bb from 1804. The map depicts the former province of La Mancha, which disappeared after Javier de Burgos's reform of the provincial administration in 1833.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Province of La Mancha bordered to the north with the province of Toledo<\/a> and the province of Cuenca<\/a>, to the southeast with the Kingdom of Murcia<\/a>, to the south with the Kingdom of Ja\u00e9n<\/a> and the Kingdom of C\u00f3rdoba<\/a> and to the west with the province of Extremadura<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The map shows the three judicial districts that made up the province in different colours: Ciudad Real, Infantes and Alcaraz. After Javier de Burgos's reform, most of the territory would become part of the new provinces of Ciudad Real and Albacete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
