This article aims to carry out a socio-demographic characterization of Montevideo’s population during the Guerra Grande incorporating, into the historical explanation, a spatial analysis through Geographic Information Systems (GIS). To do so, we used demographic and cartographic sources, an 1843 population register and two topographic maps of the city of Montevideo (Ciudad Vieja and Ciudad Nueva) from the same period. The sources enabled us to approach a society shaken by the recent flood of immigrants and the political conflicts in the Rio de la Plata.
