551. Mapa de la red telegráfica y de los itinerarios generales de la República Mexicana [Mexico]. Labadie, F. A. San Francisco. 1884. Colored pen-and-ink tracing, 54 x 70 cm. Scale ca. 1:4,000,000.
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Mexico took
enormous strides to modernize under the leadership of José de
la Cruz Porfirio Díaz (president, 1876-1880, 1884-1911). Under
Porfirio Díaz, the "científicos", an elite group of technical
and intellectual advisers, assisted in planning for Mexico's economic
recovery that was based on further development of all forms of communication
linkages. This 1884 communications map of Mexico, a prime example of
late nineteenth century maps motivated by commercial interest, includes
railroad lines (completed and under construction), roads, telegraph
lines, cable lines, ship routes by destination, cities and principal
towns, and state and international boundaries. A primary purpose of
map is to show the link between U.S. railroad lines and operating and
proposed Mexican railroad lines. Map also gives distances from various
cities throughout Mexico to Mexico City. Also offices of Wells Fargo
are shown throughout the map. The map is signed by F. A. Labadie in
San Francisco, and it is possible that he served as an agent for Wells
Fargo. A practically identical copy of the map, shown as 2 of 2, is
to be found in the same jacket. [See

559. [Oztoticpac lands map, Texcoco, Mexico]. [ca. 1540]. Colored pen-and-ink ms. on amatl, 76 x 84 cm. Scale not given. 88-690436.
This map is a Mexican pictorial document with Spanish
and Nahuatl writing showing litigation among several Native and European
claimants surrounding the Oztoticpac estate of Aztec ruler, Carlos Ometochtli
Chichimecatecotl. That ruler had been executed by Spanish officials
on November 30, 1539. The map reflects the pre-European Mesoamerican
tradition of mapmaking using glyphs and indigenously produced paper
(amatl). The document depicts an inventory of landed properties once
owned by the executed Aztec ruler, Carlos. Most of the drawings on the
map are plans of fields with indigenous measurements and place glyphs.
Near the upper left is a plan of several houses within a precinct. In
the upper right is a map showing about 75 identified land plots. Additional
fields are drawn in the lower right. In the lower left appear European
fruit trees and grape vines which had been grafted on to indigenous
tree stock. The latter image is unique among all known Mexican indigenous
pictorial documents. The segments of the orchards are found in Oztoticpac
and in three other locations in the city of Texcoco, Mexico. Substantial
introductory work on this rare pictorial manuscript is found in Howard
F. Cline, "The Oztoticpac Lands Map of Texcoco, 1540," A La
Carte (Library of Congress, Washington, 1972), 5-33.

The purpose of this map of Mexico City is to provide

frontier garrisons, and promoted further exploration of the Pacific
Coast. This map reflects the Viceroy's interest in improving the capital
city of New Spain through paving, lighting, and public health projects.
Map includes an extensive keyed legend, notes on urban development,
and is color coded to indicate existing conditions of streets and houses.

In 1519, the site of Veracruz was where Hernando Cortés's
conquest of Mexico began. From its earliest years, Veracruz served as
the principal Atlantic port of New Spain. With the expansion of the
Spanish empire to Asia in the 1560's and concurrent with the linking
of Mexican trade with Manila, Veracruz served as the Atlantic terminus
for that trade. Due to its vital commercial position, Veracruz throughout
its history has been the first point of attack for numerous invasions
of New Spain and later independent Mexico. These well executed plans
of the city and port of Veracruz, prepared by the Frenchman, Bois St.
Lys, include coastline, coastal features, soundings, navigational hazards,
streams, roads, fortifications, the city, and pictorial representation
of relief. The detailed plan of the city of Veracruz includes a complete
street grid. A keyed legend contained in an elegant architectural frame
provides references to military, religious, and government buildings.
On verso appears a portion of the printed military "Plan de Vesel" by
Jaillot in 1782.
