The map shows shows the relatively consolidated continent of South America that emerged from the early 19th century wars of Independence from Spain. It shows the state known today as Greater or Gran Colombia, which encompassed much of northern South America and part of southern Central America, although it had by the time of publication dissolved into its constituent parts. It included the territories of present-day Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela, and parts of northern Peru, western Guyana and northwestern Brazil. The map also shows the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata (Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata), earlier known as the United Provinces of South America, a union of provinces in the Río de la Plata region of South America, which emerged from the May Revolution in 1810 and the Argentine War of Independence of 1810–1818. It comprised most of the former Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata dependencies
consisting of much or all of present day Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia - and had Buenos Aires as its capital.
