How to read the Mexico map
Check the reported location, depth, time, and source page before assuming what an event meant nearby.
Wide frame
Pacific, inland, and Gulf reports differ
Mexico-area reports can sit along the Pacific coast, inland areas, the Gulf side, or near border areas. Use the source location before assuming local meaning.
Depth check
Read depth with location
Depth and place name together give more context than magnitude alone, especially across a wide regional map frame.
