CHACO

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 786 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CHACO , a territory of northern Argentina,
part
  of a large
district
  known as the Gran Chaco, bounded N. by the territory of Formosa, E. by
Paraguay
  and
Corrientes
 , S. by Santa Fe, and W. by Santiago del Estero and Salta. The Bermejo river forms its northern boundary, and the
Paraguay
  and Parana rivers its eastern; these rivers are its only means of communication. Pop. (1895) 10,422; (1904, est.) 13,937; area, 52,741 sq. m. The northern
part
  consists of a vast plain filled with number-less lagoons; the southern part is slightly higher and is covered with dense forests, occasionally broken by open grassy spaces. Its forests contain many species of trees of
great
  economic value; among them is the quebracho, which is exported for the tannin which it contains. The
capital
 , Resistencia, with an estimated
population
  of 3500 in 1904, is situated on the Parana river opposite the city of
Corrientes
 . There is railway communication between Santa Fe and La Sabana, an insignificant timber-cutting
village
  on the southern frontier. In the territory there are still several tribes of uncivilized Indians, who occasionally raid the neighbouring settlements of Santa Fe.
