This nicely detailed atlas map of the region shows Bolivia with the Pacific region of Cobija that was lost to Chili in the War of Pacific in the 1880s. Conjectural tributaries and a note about the farthest point reached on the Purus River suggest the difficulties colonizers ran into while navigating the rivers of the region. The map indicates railroads both proposed and operational.
