Hi Joseph: Tough assignment, trying to determine which states are covered on this "Nueva Galicia" map. The boundries are not well defined. I'll give it a try. The map covers the area of Mexico from about 23 degrees North latitude to about 18 degrees North latitude. If you look at a modern map of Mexico, you'll see the following States are inside this area: Nayarit, southern part of Sinaloa, Jalisco, Michoacan, Guerrero, Southern part of Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Mexico, Guanajuato, Veracruz, San Luis Potosí and I probably missed a couple. I have a book that shows a map of Nueva Galicia in the XVI century. It defines the area sorrounded by these places: (Starting in the South and going clock-wise ) Queretaro, Guadalajara, El Teúl, Colotlan, Durango, Cuencamé, Parras, Saltillo, Ciudad Valles. Inside the area are: Guanjuato, Jalostotitlan, Zacatecas, and San Luis Potosi. You got to remember that La Nueva Galicia expanded from here in later years. I am sure there are later maps that include a bigger area, especially to the West and North. Iam sure some other member can shine a brighter light on this subject. John Gonzalez Wildomar, CA
