EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately detailed map, created in 1646, offers a glimpse into the geographical knowledge of the 17th century, specifically focusing on the island of Hispaniola and its primary city, Santo Domingo, in the Caribbean. During this period, the New World was still a mystery to many Europeans, and maps served as crucial tools for exploration, conquest, and colonialism. Hispaniola, the second largest island in the Greater Antilles, is depicted in the map with its various regions labeled, including the Spanish settlements of Santo Domingo, Concepción, and Santiago. The map also highlights the island's natural features, such as rivers, mountains, and harbors, which were essential for the development of urban centers and the transportation of resources. Santo Domingo, the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Americas, is shown as a bustling city with a well-defined urban layout. The map reveals the presence of a harbor, which was vital for the city's economic growth and its role as a gateway to the New World. The map's title, "Nuevo Mapa de la Isla Española," reflects the Spanish colonial influence on the region. The intricate engraving style of the map is a testament to the advanced cartographic techniques of the time, which allowed for more accurate representations of geographical features. The map's historical significance lies in its ability to provide insights into the early history of the Dominican Republic and the broader context of colonialism and the Age of Discovery.
