Unrecorded Map of Mexico With 5,000 Altimetric Notes
Fascinating "General Map of the Mexican Republic with recent data and a study of topographical relief based on about 5,000 altimetric notes."
This map was created by the engineer Miguel Arriaga in 1903 and was published by Herrero Hermanos, Editores in Mexico, with lithographic printing by Lit. Mateu in Madrid.
The map provides a detailed representation of Mexico, showcasing topographic features, political boundaries, state capitals, district centers, railroads, and coastal navigation routes. Its purpose is to present an accurate and updated visual guide to Mexico's geography, including elevation changes, as noted in the altimetric data.
The detailed topographical relief makes it a useful tool for understanding the physical and infrastructural landscape of the country at the beginning of the 20th century, particularly for engineering, planning, and navigation purposes. The inclusion of state borders and urban centers also indicates its role as a political and administrative reference.
