Manuscript map of San Salvador de Tzompantepec, Mexico, 1905. Hand drawn and colored, detailed topographical map of this area of Tzompoantepec - "el lugar de los craneos" in nahuatl, "the place of the skulls." Tzompantepec is a county (municipio) in the state of Tlaxcala, Mexico. This map shows the topographical features of the county and notes the town of San Salvador, the cabecera or county seat. Also noted are scattered dwellings, pueblo boundaries, vegetation and a nifty compass rose through the left margin of the map.
Tzompantepec is located in the eastern portion of the Mexican state of Tlaxcala within the Central Mexican Plateau, along the slopes of the La Malinche Volcano. The town name is a Nahuatl term which roughly translates to: "hill where the skulls of the sacrifice are stored.".
