The Geographic Chart of Minas Geraes Province, by Caetano Luiz de Miranda, 1804, presents cartographic information data differentiating it from the coeval maps. This map causes perplexity for the author’s biographic data, an artist, notable in the Tejuco (presently Diamantina, Minas Gerais) society, employee at the Diamantina Quarter-master Headquarters. A study on Topographic and Cartographic Map of the Minas Geraes Province, no records of author or date, pointed out to the same distinctive characteristics of the Geographic Chart. Geographic information and cartographic elements from that study have raised the hypothesis that Miranda’s map was based on one by an unknown author. Analysis on the comparative study of both is so presented in this work, in order to prove that hypothesis.
