stockraising estate of A. Guerrero

This glyph-like symbol and gloss identifies the property just west of the curve in the wall as an “estancia,” which was usually associated with stock raising. This private estate, pertaining to Agustín Guerrero, is also near the arroyo. An Agustín Guerrero is represented in notarial records from Mexico City, dating from October 10, 1580, and referencing an estate in the Valley of Toluca. He was giving a power of attorney to Juan Nieto. Notaría 1, vol. 169, leg. 6, folio . Archivo General de Notarías de la Ciudad de México. <http://cpagncmxvi.historicas.unam.mx/ficha.jsp?idFicha=1-TRP-169-221>. An “hacienda” pertaining to him in the Valley of Toluca in 1597–1598 is also mentioned in Notaría 374, vol. 2465, f. 391r.–392v. Archivo General de Notarías de la Ciudad de México. <http://cpagncmxvi.historicas.unam.mx/ficha.jsp?idFicha=374-MOA-2465-277>. Finally, this “estancia” is called a “labor” in the other late sixteenth-century map from Toluca that we have also published in the Mapas Project. [SW]
