This detailed manuscript plan of Tepejillo hacienda was drawn by engineer Pablo Solis. Located in the Oaxaca state of southwestern Mexico, the map depicts the rugged terrain of this small town now named Santos Reyes Tepejillo through hachuring. A legend at right further locates gardens, farms, rivers, canals, roads and more. A table at bottom reveals the different types of land in the vicinity, with uncultivated mountainous terrain representing nearly 90% of the total. Features the seal of Luis Arrioja, Civil Engineer, at bottom right. Drawn on onionskin.
