Depends a bit on what you mean. If you mean a chinampas from a bird's eye view than there are several. The most famous one being the 'Plano Parcial de la Ciudad de México'. But there are numerous lesser known documents in the AGN: Tierras. Vol. 45, Exp. 3, f. 8v; Tierras, Vol. 39, 1a parte, Exp. 2, f. 13r; Tierras, Vol. 2789, Exp. 1, f. 6r; or Tierras, Vol. 22, 1a parte, Exp. 5, f. 122v to name but a few. The Bibliothèque Nationale de France holds a beautiful example: BnF 82. Or maybe the Xochimilco pages of the Codex Cozcatzin.<BR>
However, if you want more of a Sahagúnesque Renaissance example it becomes more difficult. From the top of my head I don't know any example but I don't have all the images of the Florentino in my head. You may want to leaf it through. A 'purely' prehispanic glyph for 'chinampa' is even more difficult. You would need a toponym with 'chinam' in it which is quite unusual in Nahua place names. The only one I can think of is Chinameca which is near Coatzacoalco and therefore not very useful. I suppose the field of 'Xochimilco' (f. 2v of the Mendoza, for example) would be a chinampa but it simply is represented as a 'milli' as it's a phonetic element.<BR>

Hope this helps a bit.<BR>
