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 shows the state of Campeche, in south-eastern Mexico, with its most populous towns, main geographical features and administrative boundaries (shown in different colours). This state bordered the Gulf of Mexico to the north-west, Yucatán to the west, Guatemala to the south-east and Tabasco to the south-west.

In the top left-hand corner there is a detailed inset showing Campeche, the state capital, which is now known as San Francisco de Campeche.
