Decorative and detailed map showing what is now northern Argentina and central Chile. The span of the map stretches from the Salta Province in Argentina to the Araucania Province in Chile. Numerous cities, mountains, rivers, islands, and more are labeled. Minor detail is shown in the neighboring country of Paraguay. Uruguay is shown as part of Brazil.

Vignettes shown include a traveling post, the Grand Square in Buenos Aires, a regional "Gobernador," a rattlesnake, and the ox-drawn water barrel of a Buenos Aires water seller.

Tallis was one of the last great decorative map makers. His maps are prized for the wonderful vignettes which adorn them.
