This map was given as a presentation map and provided a record of the expedition of Geronimo Matorras, Governor of Tucumán, into the interior Indian country, or Gran Chaco Gualamba. The drawing memorializes the governor's meeting with "El famoso Indio Paykin." Another copy of this map is held by the Archivo General de Indias, Seville.
