Translated Title: Map of Yucatan drawn and improved by Carl Heller 1847 and based upon the manuscript map by Juan Jose de Leon and others.

The map includes cities, villages, haciendas, ranchos, ruins, anchorages, and roads in addition to other topographical details. Author and mapmaker Carl Bartolomeus Heller (1824-1880) was a young Austrian botanist and gentleman traveler who was in Mexico during the U.S. War with Mexico. His observations on Yucatan, Chiapas, and Tabasco were of particular importance, but his book was not published in an English translation until 2007. See Alone in Mexico: The Astonishing Travels of Karl Heller, 1845-1848, trans. and ed. by Terry Rugeley (Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 2007).
