Abstract
In this review I dedicate the following lines to the work of J.B. Harley who contributed new interpretations to the history of cartography and paved the way for the rereading, analysis and exploration of the maps. In this sense, I analyze Harley's proposal on two issues that I find fundamental. Analyze and interpret the iconographic meaning of the maps and address the silences as part of the discourse censored in cartography.
