This manuscript presents a novel analysis that deals about how architecture, urban planning and civil and military public works are represented in Geographic Atlas of Spain 1804 (AGE) of Tomas Lopez. For this it has been characterized different map symbols appearing on maps, which are the benchmarks for analysis and transmit accurate information on the shape and meaning of what is represented. So, more than one hundred different symbols were found. This gives an idea of the great detail and richness of the information contained in AGE. A deeper analysis shows that eighteen of them are equivalent to other previous cartographic symbols. These were from Chevalier, D’Anville teacher, who in turn was the teacher Thomas Lopez in Paris. Additionally, we found that there are several symbols with similarity to their corresponding of the Ordinances of the Royal Corps of Engineers from 1803.
