The "Map of the course of the Oroonoko from the Mouth of the Rio Sinaruco to Angostura" is a significant cartographic work by Friedrich Alexander, Baron von Humboldt, a renowned Prussian polymath, geographer, naturalist, and explorer. Humboldt's extensive travels in the Americas during the early 19th century led to numerous scientific discoveries and detailed mappings of previously uncharted territories. This particular map is a testament to his meticulous approach to exploration and documentation.

Created during Humboldt's expedition to South America, which began in 1799 and lasted until 1804, the map meticulously charts the course of the Orinoco River, one of the longest rivers in South America, from the mouth of the Rio Sinaruco to the town of Angostura (now Ciudad Bolívar) in Venezuela. Humboldt's journey along the Orinoco was part of his broader mission to understand the natural world, including its geography, flora, fauna, and the cultures of indigenous peoples.

The map is notable for its accuracy and detail, reflecting Humboldt's commitment to empirical observation and scientific rigor. It includes various geographical features such as river tributaries, islands, and surrounding terrain, providing valuable insights into the region's topography. Humboldt's work on the Orinoco River was groundbreaking at the time and contributed significantly to the fields of geography and cartography.

Humboldt's maps and writings have had a lasting impact on the scientific community and have influenced subsequent explorers and researchers. His interdisciplinary approach, combining geography, natural history, and ethnography, set new standards for scientific exploration. The "Map of the course of the Oroonoko from the Mouth of the Rio Sinaruco to Angostura" remains an important historical document, illustrating the early stages of modern scientific cartography and the enduring legacy of Humboldt's contributions to our understanding of the natural world.
