Deposito Topografico
Deposito Topografico (1819 - 1898) was a Spanish mapping agency based in Manila, the Philippines, during the Spanish period. The Deposito was founded by Ildefonso de Aragón y Abollado (1760 - 1838) in 1819 to bring modern surveying and mapmaking techniques to the archipelago. It issued numerous maps of the Philippines and Philippine provinces, as well as textual geographies. Most were engraved and printed locally using fine Philippine rice paper. It remained in operation until 1898, when 300 years of Spanish rule abruptly ended.
