Santa Anita Canal, Mexico
Santa Anita Canal, Mexico, a place used for chinampa-based agriculture. Chinampa is a method of ancient Mesoamerican agriculture which used small, rectangle-shaped areas of fertile arable land (often artificial islands) to grow crops on the shallow lake beds in the Valley of Mexico. This card shows one of the traditional flat-bottomed canoes on the canal. Today, the canal and the chinampas at Santa Anita have vanished, but a metro station on the site has a man in his canoe (identical to the one depicted here) as its symbol. Date: circa 1905
