Manuscript map, pen and ink on paper, small folio, 190 x 312 mm, [Peru: 17th century?]. Old folds and creasing, some light soiling. A fascinating document: the simplified schematic style of the map recalling pre-Colombian mapping styles. The map shows five population centers, each apparently centering on a church or chapel. The towns or pueblos identified on the map are Molina and San Miguel, with two haciendas also named. These may well be the outlying villages around the capital Lima.
