Visual representation of Ixcatlan, located in the Diocese of Oaxaca. Created by Gonzalo Velázquez de Lara, this is the first of two very similar maps that place Ixcatlan, Quiotepeque, and Tecomahuaca in relation to the surrounding smaller communities and landscape. Twenty towns are depicted and labeled including the three principal towns of Ixcatlan, Quiotepeque, and Tecomahuaca. Others shown include Teotitlan, Tlequacco, Teculula, Tuxtla, Quicatlan, Coiula, Teopatongo, Atlatlauca, and Nocpala. The map is dotted with green hills and trees signifying a mountainous and fertile region. Also shown is the principal road (Camino Real de Oaxaca) and river Río de Alvarado (Papaloapan River). Created in response to question ten listed within the relaciones geográficas questionnaire for Ixcatlan.
