They have a copy of  "Mesoamerican Ethnohistory in United States 
Libraries, Reconstruction of the William E Gates Collection of 
Historical and Linguistic Manuscripts" (Labyrinthos) compiled by John M. 
Weeks. There are some used copies available online, but the sellers 
don't ship to Mexico. I've queried to see if they will make an 
exception, but this will surely be a lengthy process. As I don't have 
access to a university library here in Cancun, I wonder if anyone would 
be willing to do me the favor of looking through the book, if it is 
available in your library, and seeing if it contains any information 
about the "Yucatan in 1579" map. I'm sure that any positive results will 
be of great interest to other list members
