The photograph of this map appears to have more of a red tint than the original might have. The map is quite deteriorated in the middle, perhaps owing to its having been folded in the middle many times and bundled, perhaps with a cord tied around it, which wore through the paper. The scene here includes various communities, whether altepetl or tlaxilacalli settlements around Xochimilco (which appears at the top of this orientation). Other settlements named here are Santiago, Xuchitepec, Nativitas, Santa Cruz, San Gregorio, and San Pablo.
