Visual representation of Atengo and Misquihuala, towns in the archbishopric of Mexico. Created by a local, Indigenous artist, the map illustrates the positioning and boundaries between Santa María de Atengo, Misquiahuala, and Tesontepeque. Outlying, smaller communities are also depicted as well as the landscape and geographical features of the region. Other communities shown are Tecapatepeque, Tula, and Tepeitic (Tepeiti) and the properties listed include Juan de Cabrera, Martín Cerón, and Jerónimo López (Jrmo Lópz). The map also features dozens of glyphs representing communities such as "cerro con cuchillo de pedernal" for Tecpatepec, "Cerro con cuenta de collar" for Cuzcatepec and "Cerro con culebra" for Coatepec. Created in response to question ten listed within the relación geográfica questionnaire for Atengo y Misquiahuala.
