BP folks,

Don't meant to cross lists here, but a guy from another list I am on is requesting information that some of you might be able to help him with. I'm curious myself if anyone can answer his question. If you can help, please reply to the list and cc: him on the response: adamnvillani@...

Thanks!

Subject: [roadgeek] Online maps of Mexican Municipios?

In an attempt to spread my county-counting efforts into Mexico, I've encountered some difficulty finding good maps of where the borders of the municipios (county-equivalents) are in Mexico. The best information I've been able to find online are these generalized location maps of the municipios within the three states I've visited: http://antares.inegi.gob.mx/cgi-bin/map3.3/mapserv?map=/home/web/htdocs/map/estados/bc/bc.map http://antares.inegi.gob.mx/cgi-bin/map3.3/mapserv?map=/home/web/htdocs/map/estados/son/son.map http://antares.inegi.gob.mx/cgi-bin/map3.3/mapserv?map=/home/web/htdocs/map/estados/chih/chih.map But the detail on these maps is really low, and I haven't even been able to figure out how to go up a level to navigate around the selection of maps of the different states; instead I've been typing in the state abbreviation in the appropriate spot of the URL. Has anybody found any maps, online or in print, that show more detail than just these general outline maps? Incidentally, it's interesting to note that Baja California is divided into just 5 municipios, compared with many more for most of the other states. Ensenada municipio covers everything down to the BCS border. In fact, I've visited all five of BC's municipios without hardly trying. In Sonora and Chihuahua, I've only got one each (San Luis Rio Colorado and Janos, respectively). Adam
