I have just finished an interactive Google Map with the campsites mentioned by Musters during his long journey from Pavón Island on the Santa Cruz River in Southern Patagonia, and Carmen de Patagones on the Negro River, in Buenos Aires province, in Northern Patagonia.
It includes text from Musters book (online)
And I used the maps in this book (big one) and (small one) as references.
I read an interesting book (Patagonia - Following in the footsteps of Musters, by Álvaro de Brito and Marlis Kuhlmann) about Muster's journey. It helped confirm several locations, though I disagree with several campsite locations and chose other spots.
I will, at a later date, add his first leg, from Punta Arenas, Chile, to the Santa Cruz River.
Some locations are approximate, Musters did not provide latitude or longitude of his campsites, and lakes, springs, gullies, crags, hills and dry rivers are found all across Patagonia. His map isn't very clear either. So, it is work ongoing! Suggestions are welcome.
