Central plaza grid
The old core is a set of near-square blocks around the main plaza and church, the clearest geometric shape on the map and the point every street leads back to.

The map
Ahualulco de Mercado lies in the Valles region of Jalisco, west of Guadalajara, on open ground where fields and dirt roads come right up to the last paved blocks. From above, the town is a small, fairly regular grid centred on its main square and church. Outside the grid the pattern changes to long farm parcels, and in the distance the hills begin.
The second half of the name honours José María Mercado, a priest who fought as an insurgent in Mexico's war of independence. On the map, the history shows mainly in the plan: a Spanish-style layout of square blocks around a plaza, with streets running in straight lines out to the countryside. Those lines are what give the drawing its order.
A Ahualulco de Mercado map poster works because the scale is small enough to read almost every street. The dense centre, the looser blocks toward the edges and the roads leaving for neighbouring towns in the valley all fit comfortably in one frame. That balance of grid and open land is what the print is about.
The old core is a set of near-square blocks around the main plaza and church, the clearest geometric shape on the map and the point every street leads back to.
The grid stops abruptly where cultivated fields begin, so in black and white the town appears as a dense block set in long, thin agricultural parcels.
Regional roads leave the town toward other settlements in the Valles region, drawing clean diagonal lines across the flatter ground between the hills.
