【 摘 要 】

This work considers the cartographic work that French naturalist Claudio Gay completed after he was hired by the Chilean government in 1830 to explore, recognize and study Chile’s territory and its resources. All of these made the first national cartography of the country possible. Claudio Gay’s cartographic contribution is valued in the context of the relationships between science and power and his maps are interpreted both as essential instruments for state administration and as tools for territorial integration and sovereignty purposes.
