Abstract

We study two maps related to the Kingdom of Portugal, dated (1751), published in Paris, and signed by geographer Robert Vaugondy, as follows: Partie Septentrionale du Royaume de Portugal, par le Sr. Robert, Geographe ordinaire du Roy. Avec Privilege. 1751. e Partie Meridionale du Royaume de Portugal, par le Sr. Robert, Geographe ordinaire du Roy. Avec Privilege. 1751., with the aim of proposing an explanation for the administrative divisions on the maps. Supporting the object of this work we briefly characterize the evolution of the administrative boundaries of the Kingdom of Portugal, since it formation until nowadays, and we have followed Robert of Vaubondy´s life and work. We have come to the conclusion that they logically represented church divisions.
