Santa Cruz Map, or Uppsala Map, the earliest known map of Mexico City c. 1550, which combines European cartography and buildings with Mesoamerican symbology and spatial thought.

Found in Library of Congress: https://www.loc.gov/resource/gdcwdl.wdl_00503/?r=-0.063,0,1.127,0.684,0

The Santa Cruz Map (Also known as the Uppsala map) is the earliest known city map of Mexico City as the capital of New Spain. The map depicts the city’s layout with its buildings, streets, and waterways surrounded by the lakes of the basin of the Valley of Mexico and the countryside beyond. In the map one can also see images of daily life, animals and plants. It is a watercolor map that was painted between 1550 and 1556.

The map gets its name from Alonso de Santa Cruz, court cartographer to Charles V (king of Spain at that time), and who for a while was considered author of the map. Since the 20th century, the map is viewed as being the work of a group of Tlahcuiloh artists at the Colegio de Santa Cruz at Tlatelolco. This is posited because of the indigenous glyphs found on the map, its similarity to other works from the Colegio de Santa Cruz and also due to the fact that Alonso de Santa Cruz never visited New Spain.

The map currently resides in the archives of the Uppsala University library and is the place where the map was rediscovered, hence the origin of the map's other title as the “Uppsala map”.

[OC] Last time each European team reached the World Cup quarter-finals
[OC] Last time each European team reached the World Cup quarter-finals

This map shows the last FIFA Men’s World Cup where each European team reached the quarter-finals or a later round.

2026 means the team reached the quarter-finals in the current World Cup. Other years show the team’s last time at this stage. Grey means the team has never reached the quarter-finals. Colours only show how long ago it was.

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are separate teams. FIFA counts Czechoslovakia’s record with Czechia, so Czechia is 1990; Slovakia is separate. FIFA also counts Yugoslavia’s record with Serbia, so Serbia is 1990.

Some old World Cups had no quarter-final round. In those cases, teams that reached the semi-finals or final are counted.

This is a map of geographic Europe, not UEFA members. Israel and Kazakhstan are not included.

World Cup data comes from FIFA. Borders come from Natural Earth.
