Abstract
This report describes a map (not included due to its size) of the ruins at Tikal. The report describes the fieldwork, the decisions the authors made while making the map, and the symbols used. A brief summary of their findings includes, among other things, a description of where structures are found, their orientation and other settlement patterns, site boundaries, the density of the buildings, CHULTUNS, quarries, reservoirs, and surface drainage systems. A table of the map's structure numeration compared with previous designations for structures is in the back of the report.
