In the XIXth century, the development of the
cartography has been in connection with the
process of the colonial expansion: the country
which colonized had to define the territorial limits
of its new territory. But, during a long time, the
borders between French Algeria and Tunisia were
imprecise because of the conflicts between France
and Tunisian tribes. This contribution analyses the
case of the tribe of the Fraichich in order to study
the frontier “in process” and to understand how the
members of this tribe have learned mapping. On
the basis of this example, it is possible to observe
the relations between European and indigenious
abilities and to explain why a map is a tool of power
in the context of the boundary and the political
.organization of a territory
