'Map to show the work of the Peru-Bolivia Boundary Commission 1911 to 1913. Reduced from the map attached to the official report of the commission and re-published by the Society. // Sketch map to illustrate the uncertainty in the knowledge of the river systems at the epoch of the arbitration.'
A 1916 map depicting the work of the Peru-Bolivia Boundary Commission (1911–1913), with the map on the right highlighting the uncertainty surrounding river systems during the earlier arbitration. The territorial dispute between Bolivia and Peru had been settled in 1909 with the signing of the Polo–Bustamante Treaty. The Commission was tasked with conducting detailed surveys and producing comprehensive reports to precisely demarcate the border. This effort included the participation of British military officers in the Peruvian delegation. For much of its course, the border follows the River Heath.
