Map of the state of Nuevo León, Mexico (1886)

This map, drawn up by the Mexican cartographer Antonio García Cubas, was originally published as part of the Geographical and Statistical Atlas of the United Mexican States in 1858. It is the first atlas of Mexico produced by a Mexican cartographer. This particular edition was published by Debray Sucesores in 1886.

The map depicts the state of Nuevo León, in northeastern Mexico, with its most populated localities, main geographical features and administrative boundaries (in different colours). The state was bordered to the north and east by Tamaulipas, to the south by San Luis Potosí and to the west by Coahuila.
