Cartography and attribution

The packaged TopoJSON is processed from vector cartography published by the Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional de Chile (BCN).

Current artifacts contain:

LevelFilesFeatures
Regions116
Comunas16345
Provincias1656

The BCN source does not provide Antarctic geometry, so the Antártica comuna and Antártica Chilena provincia have no published polygons. Small islets may be simplified or removed according to the documented generation thresholds.

Rapa Nui and Juan Fernández render in automatic side insets. Set oceanicIslands={false} for a mainland-only view.

The material is referential and is not suitable for work requiring geodetic precision. Maps depicting Chilean limits and borders do not bind the State of Chile.
