Chinampa illustration

Wed Feb 13 20:16:21 UTC 2008

I don't know if it is quite what you are looking for, but if I remember rightly then the Plano en Papel de Maguey (c.1523-5) includes details of chinampa plots in north-west Tenochtitlan, showing name glyphs for ownership.

Subject: [Nahuat-l] Chinampa illustration

I am looking for an illustration of a chinampa taken from either a
pre-Columbian source, or some graphic source from the 16th century
(relaciones geograficas, some codex, etc.).  I've looked in the Codex
Mendoza, the Primeros memoriales, and the Codex Osuna, with no luck.  I
thought that some of you might know and save me some time
