Abstract
This article presents the problems encountered by the geographer Juan de la Cruz Cano, during the process of elaboration and delivery to the Secretariat of State of the Map of South America concluded in 1775. The difficulties with which they collided, both the author and his work, were due to the existing division within the Spanish Court. The different groups of power that gathered around the king had different and opposing views on what was to be represented in the map. Both groups also differed with respect to the administration of South America.
