Synopsis

The map contains the spatial distribution of the physical-geographic landscapes of the state of Puebla at a scale of 1: 250,000. Each landscape unit is defined in three hierarchical levels: Localities, Complex Places and Simple Places. The map is accompanied by a legend, metadata, and arbitrations performed. For the entire state, 291 localities and 717 simple places were classified. The analysis of the units reveals that more than 55% of the territory corresponds to mountains or hills with tectonic or volcanic genesis. In relation to lithology, alluvial deposits predominate in 28% of the state. The predominant climate is of the subhumid temperate type (32%) and approximately 50% has slopes of the terrain between 10 and 30 °.
