Visual representation of Epazoyuca, located in the Archdiocese of Mexico. Created by an unknown artist, the map lays out the streets of Epazoyuca in a grid like fashion with the town plaza and church in the center. Most of the other buildings depicted are nondescript dwellings and the streets are also unlabeled. There are several larger roads that are noted with drawn footprints signifying they are more well traveled and connect Epazoyuca with the surrounding areas. At the top of the map is the depiction of a large mountain (Tláloc) which contains the water source for Epazoyuca. The mountain's slopes are adorned with local vegetation including cactus and mazote. At the bottom of the map are rows of irrigated crops. Created in response to question ten listed within the relación geográfica questionnaire for Epazoyuca
