Abstract

With the objective to discussing some of the Strategic Telegraphic Lines from Mato Grosso to Amazonas contributions – CLTEMTA (1907 to 1915) to the processes of appropriation and territorial domain developed by the Republican State in the areas currently corresponding to the Northwest of Brazil, in Mato Grosso, in the so-called “empty hinterland”, a selection of the masters dissertation titled “The Republican Territorial Domain manifested in the Multi-Pressiveness of Rondon Commission” was selected in this text, in which it was intended to point out the actions of territorial recognition executed in the first years of CLTEMTA that strengthened the state body associated with the exercise of its sovereign power in the territory. The data presented were the discussions results and analysis of the Conferences held in 1910 by Cândido Mariano da Silva Rondon, which present an important profile of the geographical ideologies existing in the period, whose materiality is expressed in a cartographic representation by the advances obtained in the expeditions of studies and recognition that were decisive for the process of state legitimation in a society that was in its composition process.
