description This article aims to approximate the way in which geography and history have addressed the relationship between cartographic production and nation-state formation in Argentina, Mexico and Colombia during the 19th century and part of the 20th century. Through a review by some authors on the subject, it is intended to show the existence of a transformation in the way of addressing the history of cartography in Latin America. This change is manifested in the fact of considering the map as something that not only refers to the state of the art in a specific period, linking it to the world of representation and power relations, as a key instrument in the geopolitical consolidation of Latin American national states. It also seeks to demonstrate some common lines of work, as well as identify specific issues by country.

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo aproximarse a la manera en cómo la geografía y la historia han abordado la relación entre producción cartográfica y formación del Estado-nación en Argentina, México y Colombia durante el siglo XIX y parte del XX. Por medio de una revisión de algunos autores sobre el tema, se pretende mostrar la existencia de una transformación en la manera de abordar la historia de la cartografía en América Latina. Dicho cambio, se manifiesta en el hecho de considerar el mapa como algo que no solo se refiere al estado de la técnica en un periodo específico, vinculándolo al mundo de la representación y de las relaciones de poder, como instrumento clave en la consolidación geopolítica de los estados-nacionales latinoamericanos. Se busca además evidenciar algunas líneas de trabajo común, así como identificar temas específicos según país. Este artigo tem como objetivo aproximar a maneira pela qual a geografia e a história abordaram a relação entre produção cartográfica e formação de estado-nação na Argentina, México e Colômbia durante o século XIX e parte do século XX. Com uma revisão de alguns autores sobre o assunto, pretende-se mostrar a existência de uma transformação na maneira de abordar a história da cartografia na América Latina. Essa mudança se manifesta no fato de considerar o mapa como algo que não se refere apenas ao estado da arte em um período específico, vinculando-o ao mundo das relações de representação e poder, como um instrumento fundamental na consolidação geopolítica de Estados nacionais da América Latina. Também procura demonstrar algumas linhas de trabalho comuns, além de identificar questões específicas por país.
