Map of Mexican State Names

It is a pet peeve of mine that most works on Mexican archaeology do not provide maps that label states or show their boundaries. Unfortunately, most inexpensive student atlases also leave Mexican state boundaries unmarked. This map is designed to solve that problem. If you print it out, it should fit comfortably on a notebook page.
