Reading List: Modern Mexico's Standard Guide to the City of Mexico and Vicinity

Found this gem at the the Seattle Public Library: a travel guide from 1902-1903 showing all the highlights of a trip to Mexico City as well as many of the waterways and water infrastructure that was around at the time.

Google book available online

Photo highlights include the old Chapultepec aqueduct on p. 14, la Viga canal on p. 154, various chinampas on p. 156 and 158
