PUIG CARRASCO, Alberto. Reconstructing the New Spanish landscape: agricultural structure of Yurirapúndaro according to the Geographical Relations of 1577. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2024, vol.45, n.179, pp.139-174.  Epub 26-Ago-2024. ISSN 2448-7554.  https://doi.org/10.24901/rehs.v45i179.1083.

In this text, an analysis of the agricultural structure that was formed in the Yurirapúndaro area (Yuriria, Guanajuato) at the end of the 16th century is carried out, based on research made in recent years. To do this, a detailed study of the Map of Yurirapúndaro and its Subjects (1580) was carried out, belonging to the corpus of the Geographical Relations of 1577, as well as other archival documentation that provides information at a more local level. Through Environmental History and the reconstruction of the landscape, the aim is to interpret what is represented on the map, contextualizing it in the general process of hierarchization and exploitation of space in the north of the viceroyalty of New Spain. This work offers a map with all the information collected and organized from a historical GIS, the identification of plant and animal taxa, as well as the identification and contextualization of the human activities represented in the document.
