El paralelo 42º y la frontera entre las áreas norte y sud del espacio económico argentino

Abstract

Our country offers two large development areas: Northern area, which has developed itself in answer to foreign market demand, with its center located at Buenos Aires port, with reference to which are analyzed attempts of division by BUNGE, LLORENS and GARCÍA MATA, MOYANO LLERENA, MARCENARO and LLORENS. Southern area, a group of spaces almost parallel, cordillera to sea, ordinate by the transversal disposition of valleys, rivers, mountains, railways, and roads, ordination that confirms the opinions of former Minister RAMOS MEXIA, General SAROBE and the geographer and naturalist FRENGUELLI, CABRERA and FERUGLIO. Once reviewed the existing elements on political limits, geographical borders, fitogoegraphical boundaries, ecological edges, it is established the economic frontier through the final ends of railway traffic, in km. 215 at the northwestern end at the south of Mendoza, crossing the northwest of La Pampa and Bahía Blanca at the southeastern edge
