Resumen: El presente artículo aborda los primeros intentos de delimitación moderna de la frontera pirenaica, acometidos a lo largo del siglo XVIII. En particular, se analizan los trabajos cartográficos de la Comisión de Límites Caro-Ornano (1784-1792), en relación con la cual se creó una brigada de ingenieros militares de ambos países a la que se encargó, principalmente, el levantamiento de un mapa detallado de la totalidad de la frontera hispanofrancesa. Aunque inconcluso, este mapa, levantado mediante métodos trigonométricos modernos, supone una aportación fundamental y singular en la historia de la cartografía pirenaica y peninsular, tanto por su calidad científica y grado de detalle como por la colaboración internacional que su elaboración implicó.Palabras claves: Frontera hispano-francesa, límites, Comisión Caro-Ornano, cartografía, conocimiento geográfico y militar.Abstract: This article examines the first attempts to establish a modern delimitation of the Pyrenean border between Spain and France during the 18th century. Particular attention is paid to the cartographic work of the Caro-Ornano Boundary Commission (1784-1792), whose military engineers were in structed to plot a detailed map of the entire Spanish-French border. Although unfinished, the map was designed using modern trigonometric methods and thus represents an outstanding contribution to the history of cartography, both for its scientific quality and detail and for the international collaboration that it entailed.Key words: Franco-Spanish border, Boundaries, CaroOrnano Commission, cartography, geographical and military knowledge.
