The map provides a detailed treatment of the existing roads and railroads in Paraguay, and includes large inset map of the Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay. The map is based upon the observations made by De Bourgade during his travels in 1887-1888, as well as unpublished documents from the boundary commission of 1871-1873 and maps of Mouchez and Toeppen. The map illustrates in great detail the proposed line of a transcontinental railroad, which was then being proposed by french businessmen. Bourgade was a French scientist, who came to Paraguay in 1887, along with Viscount Emmanuel Obert de Thiensis and Henry Rochefort. Bourgade travelled extensively within the country, before publishing a book on his travels in 1889. Thiensis was the representative of French businessman Leonce de Modave de Masogne, who had obtained a concession from the Paraguay Government to construct a railroad between Asuncion and Santos, Brazil and to establish Sugar, Rum Molasses and other factories."
