Descripción de la Villa del Espíritu Santo…y un mapa del curso del rio de Goatzcoalcos
Description:
Visual representation of the Coatzacualco River and the towns on its banks, located in the province of Coatzacualco in the Diocese of Oaxaca. Drawn by Francisco Stroza Gali, the map covers the full course of the river from the Gulf of Mexico to Utatepeque, which is in the province of Teguantepeque. The depths of the water are calculated at the mouth of the river along the coast and there is detail of the towns closest to the Gulf along with some detail of the coastal features including a lake and mountains. The rest of the map is essentially the course of the river with details including the curves, other smaller branches of the river, and dozens sections of rapids. A few other towns are noted but the map focuses on the river and its course. The towns included are Xaltepeque and Utatepeque. Created in response to question ten listed within the relación geográfica questionnaire for Coatzacualco.
