The 1:100 000 scale Corral de Isaac (3166-33) sheet covers the southern part of the Sierra de Las Minas and the surrounding plain which fall mostly in the southern part of the La Rioja Province, and, in the extreme south, also in the San Luis Province (Figures 1, 2). The map area is bounded by latitudes 31°40’ S and 32°00’ S, and by longitudes 66°00’ W and 66°30’ W. The area occupies the southeast part of the 1:250 000 scale Chepes (3166-III) sheet. The area is easily accessible from Córdoba by Ruta Nacional 38, Ruta Provincial 32 and Ruta Nacional 79, from La Rioja by Ruta Nacional 38 and Rutas Provinciales 27, 28 and 29, and from San Juan by Ruta Nacional 141 and Rutas Provinciale 29. The nearest regularly serviced airport is located at La Rioja. The nearest major centre of population, logistics and commerce is Chepes on Ruta Nacional 141 located between the Sierra de Chepes and Sierra de Las Minas (outside the map area). Totoral, Corral de Isaac and Nueva Esperanza are small population centres in the area.
