ABSTRACT The Ejido of Tzurumútaro is within the municipality of Pátzcuaro in the central part of the state of Michoacán, Mexico. An ejido is an agrarian settlement with a community-based land tenure system, which is common in Mexico. The Ejido of Tzurumútaro in particular, has a historical significance in the Lake of Pátzcuaro region, because it played an important role during the post-revolutionary land reform. The objective of this study is to describe the structure of the biophysical landscapes of this agrarian settlement. To accomplish this, biblio-cartographic data collection of biophysical components was done, which included information on geology, lithology, hydrology, climate, and pedology. Three taxonomic units were defined; specifically, five superior units or localities; nine Land areas and 30 Sub-land areas. Landscapes of volcanic origin are widely prevalent, although geo-systems of river and lake origin are also present. The map constitutes an important basic information basis on landscape units.
