Additional Details

Casimiro Nemesio de Moya (1849-1915) was an important figure in the history of the Dominican Republic: a politician, guerilla military leader, historian, geographer and surveyor. He published several books, but the present map is by far his greatest printed accomplishment. It was begun in 1900 during his political exile in St. Thomas and is the first official map of the island of Hispaniola. The map was officially adopted by the Dominican National Congress in 1905.
