Itza Indians; Yucatán (Mexico : State) -- History

1605  WILLEM JANSZOON BLAEU, WORLD MAP (original in Hispanic Museum,
          New York City).
        Yucatan shown as a peninsula. Tabasco appears in the middle of
      the isthmus.

1608  MATTHIAS QUADUS, FASCICULUS GEOGRAPHICUS, KOeLN (Nord.).
        Hispania Nova. Yucatan a peninsula, but not named.

1611  HONDIUS WORLD-MAP (E. S. L.).
        General shape of Yucatan approximately correct. Tabasco is
      shown in the middle of the isthmus. Atalana in northeast corner
      of Yucatan.

1613  MERCATOR, ED. IUDOCI HONDIJ, AMSTERDAM.
        Yucatan a peninsula.

1620  ANOTHER EDITION OF PORCACCHI DA CASTIGLIONE.

1631  JOHN SPEED (London ?).
        Yucatan shown as a peninsula.

1635  WILLEM JANSZOON BLAEU, AMSTERDAM (E. L. S.).
        Yucatan shown as a peninsula.

1638  Another edition of MERCATOR.

1656  MEXIQUE OU NOUVELLE ESPAGNE, PAR M. SANSON D'ABBEVILLE, PARIS.
        Shows Merida and Valladolid with the YZUES between them, and
      with the COCOMES between Valladolid and L. Bacalar. Southern
      portions of Yucatan very poorly shown.

1667  BLAAUW, AMSTERDAM, YUCATAN AND GUATIMALA.
        A very good map for the time. It shows accurately what were
      then thought to be the facts. Merida, Conil, Chuaca, Valladolid,
      Campeche, Bacalar, and Chetumal all nearly correctly placed. Just
      south of Merida are the YZAES and just south of them the COCOMES.
      The isthmus is too elongated and runs too much east and west. The
      Zoques given.

1671  ARNOLDUS MONTANUS, AMSTERDAM.
        A shameless "steal" from the preceding. (Montanus may, however,
      make acknowledgment in his text.) Practically identical with
      Blaauw, 1667.

1689  EDWARD WELLES, LONDON.
        Has Merida, Valladolid, Campeachy, and Vera Pax. Abo Guatimala.

1694  JAILLOT'S MAP IN ALLARD'S ATLAS MINOR.
        Has Merida, Valladolid, Campeche, Chetumal, Salamanca, Vera
      Pax, etc.

ca. 1697 AVENDANO'S MAP. (See Plates Ia and Ib.)
        Shows Lake Peten.

1702  ATLAS MARITIMUS NOVUS, LONDON.
        Has coasts only. Fairly correct.

1714 or just before POPPLE, LONDON.
        Has Merida and LAKE PETEN rightly placed.

1720  MATTEO SEUTTER, ATLAS NOVUS, AUGSBURG.
        Very poor. Gives few names. Southern portion of Yucatan much
      too narrow. No lake.

1722  PLANO DE PARTE DE LA COSTA DR YUCATHAN ... LA QUE VISITO SU
          GOBERNADOR Y CAPITAN GENERAL D. ANTONIO CORTAYRE, ANO
          1721. TORRES LANZAS, i. 88.
        Coast with Merida in south, Cacalchen Tilam in east. Sisal in
      west; shows possible defense of the roads. Drawn with care as to
      the details; colored; trees near coast.

1728  ATLAS MARITIMUS ET COMMERCIALIS, LONDON.
        Has "Jucatan" and Campeche, but not much else.
