The advance of the agricultural frontier in the province of Santiago del Estero, Argentina, has been a problem for rural communities since the 1970s, adopting a new logic of accumulation in the 1990s and becoming consolidated at the beginning of the 21st century. In this context, the emerging conflicts gave rise to spaces for the organization of local communities throughout the province. In 2009, the Mesa de Tierras del Dpto. Jiménez emerged from the confluence of peasant, governmental and non-governmental organizations, local communities and the Catholic Church. The objective of this article is to analyze the collective mapping process carried out between 2021 and 2022. The methodology used is qualitative, based on the following techniques: data recording and analysis, participant observation and semi-structured interviews.

Keywords : collective mapping; territories; resistance.
