notes:
Derived from a view in an unpublished atlas by Johannes Vingboons in 1628, this image was probably copied from a map of Juan Gomez de Trasmonte, supervisor for the construction of the drainage system of Mexico City in 1628. This post-conquest map may have been brought to the Netherlands by Adrian Boot, the Belgian engineer responsible for designing the project. This image is derived from Il gazzettiere Americano, vol. 2, Livorno, 1763, which in turn is derived from Arnoldus Montanus, De nieuwe en onbekende Weereld: of Beschryving van America, Amsterdam, 1671.
