This map of Lake Titicaca was made by Rafael E. Baluarte, cartographer of the Geographical Society of Lima, for a presentation to the society in December 1891 of a monographic study of the lake by Dr. Ignacio La Puente. It is based on surveys and explorations of the lake and its environs by the British diplomat and explorer Joseph Barclay Pentland (1797–1873), the Italian-Peruvian geographer and naturalist Antonio Raimondi (1826–90), the Swiss-born naturalist Louis Agassiz (1807–73), and others.
