The map
Contla, officially Contla de Juan Cuamatzi, lies in the state of Tlaxcala on the lower flanks of La Malinche, the large volcano that dominates the region. The town's streets form a fairly regular grid in the centre, but the land rises steadily to the east, and the map shows fields and roads stretching up toward the mountain.
The town has a long tradition of weaving, and textiles such as woollen sarapes have been made here for generations. It is part of the dense ring of towns around the city of Tlaxcala, and on a map its edges merge with neighbouring communities along shared roads, making the boundaries between settlements hard to see.
A Contla map poster shows a town defined by its position between the Tlaxcala valley and the volcano above. The ordered streets of the centre and the long field strips on the slope create a clear visual rhythm. It is a map with a strong sense of craft and continuity.
The heart of town is laid out in a regular pattern of blocks, a familiar form in central Mexico that anchors the map with neat, even lines.
To the east the land climbs toward the volcano, and long narrow fields and tracks run uphill, adding strong directional lines to the composition.
Contla's outskirts merge with nearby communities along connecting roads, so the map shows a continuous band of settlement across the valley floor.
