Córdoba en las “minutas cartográficas” del Instituto Geográfico Nacional (1871-1900) y su hábitat rural como herramienta cartográfica

El señalado valor paisajístico y patrimonial del poblamiento rural está fuera de toda duda. La amplia bibliografía ha puesto de manifiesto la importancia de los pueblos, cortijos, caseríos y haciendas en el contexto de la España rural. Pero esa infinidad de valores ha de completarse con el significado que el hábitat rural adquirió en los orígenes de la cartografía contemporánea. En el presente estudio examinamos, de forma suscita, la perspectiva técnica de la construcción cartográfica y topográfica de finales del siglo XIX, así como su estrecha relación con el hábitat rural como recurso cartográfico en la primera serie topográfica 1:50.000 del Instituto Geográfico. Para ello recurrimos a los itinerarios topográficos realizados entre 1871 y 1893 y a sus resultados en las “minutas cartográficas” para una muestra municipal de la provincia de Córdoba: La Carlota, Conquista, Fernán Núñez, Palma del Río, Valsequillo y Zuheros. Las deducciones concluyentes aspiran a ser un veraz ejemplo del significado cartográfico del hábitat rural como herramienta para el desarrollo de la primera cartografía topográfica cordobesa y española.
