Sumario:In this research we present the Topographic Commission of Bolivia (1843-1847) as an entity created during the government of José Ballivián (1841-1847), whose impact was to support the national and territorial ideology through the preparation of geographic maps. As a result of the scientific work of its members, the first two official maps of this country were produced in 1843 and 1859. The first one was created by the French engineer Felipe Bertrés, and the second one by the members of Topographic Commision, under the command of the Bolivian officers Juan Ondarza and Juan Mariano Mujía. The political actions of Ballivián were decisive in establishing the state cartography in Bolivia.
