Spanish term or phrase: geometría
This is about drawing up maps in rural Argentina (pre-digital, it seems):

Para el dibujo es probable que se haya guiado por el Plano Catastral de la provincia hecho en 1945 con la tecnología de la fotografía aérea, que a diferencia del plano hecho por Ramirez, dibujaba correctamente la geometría.

Pero al realizar el plano de la fracción vendida de 4 leguas, lo dibujó basándose en la medida errónea de 10.799,36 has. Con estos elementos calculó la geometría de lo vendido y lo delimitó de lo que los Brodies conservaron, ubicando dos rectas, una al norte y otra al oeste, que luego amojonó, colocando mojones como límites entre propiedades.
