          Abstract

          A mediados del siglo XIX, la telegrafía se convertía en una de las redes técnicas con mayor grado de penetración territorial en las economías europeas y de los Estados Unidos. De manera paralela y con las debidas adaptaciones técnicas, este trabajo indaga una de las redes territoriales desde la perspectiva de la geografía: la red mexicana de telegrafía y el paso de la red privada y regional a otra de carácter público y nacional, en un periodo clave, entre 1850 y 1910. La disposición de esta tecnología acentuó la centralidad de la Ciudad de México, la modernización del Estado, la vigilancia e integración del territorio nacional.

          Translated abstract

          By the mid nineteenth century, the telegraph became one of the technological networks with greater territorial penetration in European and United States economies. In a parallel fashion, and with the appropriate technical considerations, in this paper I examine one of such local networks from a geographical perspective: the Mexican telegraph network and its transition from a private, regional network to a public, country-wide one, during the crucial period from 1850 to 1910. The manner in which this technology was arranged further encouraged the centrality of Mexico City, the state modernization, and the surveillance and integration of the country's territory.
