Madrid 1901: A Historical Map of Spain
s Capital Province
Located in Langweer, NL
The map is of the province of Madrid, the capital region of Spain, as it appeared in 1901. Here are the key features it displays:
The map shows the central part of Spain, with the Guadarrama mountain range prominently visible, marking the natural border to the north of Madrid.
Blue lines likely indicate rivers, including the Manzanares River, which flows through Madrid, and the Jarama River, a tributary to the Tagus.
Red lines depict the roads and railways, outlining the infrastructure that connects Madrid's various towns and cities within the province and beyond.
Symbols and labels mark the locations of cities, towns, and villages, with Madrid itself likely being the focal point. Dotted lines may represent the administrative divisions within the province. The map includes a legend (Signos Convencionales) that explains the symbols used for provincial capitals, roads, railways, and other geographic features.
The coat of arms of Madrid, featuring a bear and a strawberry tree (madroño), is prominently featured, symbolizing the city's and the province's historical coat of arms.
About the province of Madrid:
Madrid is not only the capital of Spain but also the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, both geographically and politically. The city is renowned for its rich repositories of European art, including the Prado Museum's works by Goya, Velázquez, and other Spanish masters. The province of Madrid is characterized by a blend of historical and modern elements, with a rich cultural life that includes theater, opera, and flamenco, as well as gastronomy that features a mix of traditional Spanish dishes and international cuisine...
