This area was originally named Cihuatlán in Aztec, which means “Place of Women”, referring to the matriarchal society that dominated the region in pre-Columbian times.
Details the harbor beautifully showing mountains, waterways, and trees as well as offering detailed depth soundings and nautical references.
