This map, created by Mexican cartographer Antonio García Cubas in 1885, shows the ethnic distribution of Mexico in 1885. He used the work of his teacher, fellow Mexican Manuel Orozco y Berra, as a reference. The map is part of the Picturesque and Historical Atlas of the Mexican United States.
In the centre of the map, you can see a map of Mexico, divided into the main ethnic groups, which are numbered according to the total number of citizens:
- Mexican Family
- Othomi family
- Mixtec-Apoteca
- Maya family
- Tarasca family
- Totonac family
- Opata-Pima-Sonoran
- Zoque-Mixe
- Chontal family
- Apache family
- Matlalzinca family
- Huaxe family
- Guaicura family
- Seri family
Across the map, in addition to the families, the different main ethnic groups within each family are also shown in black. The dotted red lines mark the boundaries of each of Mexico's states at that time.
The outside of the map is covered with illustrations showing different ethnic groups, their customs and their clothing during different events.
