Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the “Mapa de Xochimilco” (Map of the Xochimilco) that is painted in folio no. 15 and 16 of the Codex Cozcatzin, a pictographic document probably produced in the 16th century. The map represents the area of Xochimilco, agricultural fields, roads but also appears to describe three lineages important to the town of Xochimilco. The codex contains information coded with indigenous pictographic and Latin scripts. The article provides detailed and separate analysis of both types of information.
