Boundaries: the Pacific Ocean to the south, the mines of Zacatecas to the north, the province of Michoacán to the east, and the villages of Cora, Guaynamota and Senstispac to the west. The orientation differs from the real one, as N is to the E of the map. It contains an extensive toponymy of towns and cities, as well as the Grande River and its tributaries, the lagoons of Chapala and Etzatlán, and the road that starts in Mexico, crosses Guadalajara and reaches Compostela through Etzatlán. The city of Guadalajara occupies a central space, represented with an urban grid layout. It indicates mining settlements, Spanish towns, indigenous villages and uninhabited areas. They are represented by means of buildings in elevation with flat or gabled roofs with vegetal roofing and a front door with two windows on the side. The towns under the jurisdiction of the Audiencia de México [towns of Ávalos] are marked with a cross above the villas, as indicated in the note overleaf. The river seems to indicate the border between the pacified land and the land of war. To the north of this is an abundance of human figures in war scenes. In the upper left-hand corner are the larger ones: a warrior with bow, arrows and quiver and two scenes of human sacrifice, the rest carrying bows in a warlike attitude. The ethnic groups at war are indicated: Tepeguanes, Tequales, Xuxuctequanes, Guaxixícar, Tezoles, Guaxacatlan, Chichimecas. On the coast another war scene next to Frayles called Punta de los Teconios.

The peñoles, or indigenous fortified defensive settlements located on the hilltops, are indicated: Teúl, Miztón [Mixtón], Juchipila Nochistlán and Coyna, war zones. The explanation and distances are found in the associated documentation. On the back are the notes: “Todos los pueblos que tyenen cruzes / son de la governación de Mexyco. El lic[encia]do Hern[an]do Martínez de la Marcha [signature and rubric]”. / “Contóse por hoja [rubric]” / “Contóse por hoja [rubric]”.
