Description
English: This is a fascinating 1847 map of the Department de la Haute Garonne, France. This region is known for its truffles, agriculture, distilled spirits, wines, and cheese. The capital is Toulouse. This region is also an important stop on the medieval pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostella. The whole is surrounded by elaborate decorative engravings designed to illustrate both the natural beauty and trade richness of the land. There is a short textual history of the regions depicted on both the left and right sides of the map.
