A lithograph map of the country around Padierna and Contreras on August 19, 1847. The annotations provide the locations and movements of the Mexican troops under Santa Anna and Valencia as well as the locations and movements of the American troops. This topographic map shows the elevations of the landscape, including mount Zacatepetl to the east alongside the road to San Augstin, and places Padierna in the center with a road leading south toward Contreras. Also located in the center of the map is a star to denote the cuarteles grales [generales], or generals quarters, in the center of the Loma de Pelon with a road leading north to Ansaldo and San Geronimo.
