Description

This detailed chromolithographic map, created by Pedro Moreno in 1897, illustrates the state of Querétaro, Mexico.

The topographic relief is rendered through finely shaded contours, indicating elevations and natural landmarks such as rivers and arroyos.

Political boundaries, including neighboring states such as Guanajuato, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosí, Michoacán, and Mexico State, are also clearly marked.

The map includes an extensive legend (Explicación) that classifies settlements from cities and pueblos to rancherías and haciendas, alongside symbols for features like roads, railways, and silver mines in operation. A table provides information on the municipalities, including their surface area (in square leagues), population figures, and geographic coordinates (longitude and latitude) measured from the Observatory of Tacubaya. The map was printed by the lithographer Em. Moreau in Mexico.

Rarity

Not in OCLC. Online searches show an example at UNAM and elsewhere in Mexico.

Condition Description

Chromolithograph on two sheets of 19th-century wove paper, unjoined. Mended tear at the right edge of the bottom sheet. Some marginal chipping well outside the printed image.
