	Mexico - Topography and Drainage
		The Sierra Madre Occidental on the west is a continuation of California's Sierra Nevada (with a break in southeastern California and extreme northern Mexico), and the Sierra Madre Oriental on the east is a southward extension of the Rocky Mountains of New Mexico and Texas.
		The Sierra Madre Occidental lies approximately 300 kilometers inland from the west coast of Mexico at its northern end but approaches to within fifty kilometers of the coast near the Cordillera Neovolcánica.
		As is the case with the Sierra Madre Occidental, the Sierra Madre Oriental comes progressively closer to the coastline as it approaches its southern terminus, reaching to within seventy-five kilometers of the Gulf of Mexico.

		Although pine-oak forests and montane forests of the Sierra Madre del Sur are well preserved, they risk extinction due to an increase in human settlements in the region caused by both urbanization and tourism.

	CPD: Middle America, Site MA3, Sierra de Juárez, Oaxaca, Mexico
		The Sierra de Juárez geological subprovince is composed of folded sedimentary rocks with series of younger granitic intrusions dating from the Palaeozoic to Cenozoic, with the majority being Mesozoic, but the region is complex and not well known (Lorence and García-Mendoza 1989; Ferrusquía-Villafranca 1993).
		For example, the Sierra de Juárez is one of five Oaxacan centres of endemism for the Leguminosae, and 6-7% of Mexican legume species are endemic to Oaxaca (Lorence and García-Mendoza 1989).
		The Sierra de Juárez is the richest region in Mexico for butterflies and significant in endemic butterflies (Llorente- Bousquets and Luis-Martínez 1993).

		But visitors seeing the countryside around La Capilla del Taxtle and Copala, hearing their guides tell of the wonders of the Sierra Madre, must come away a little disappointed, thinking only that their personal memories and images have become somewhat distorted with time, somehow harsher than the reality.

		The Sierra Madre of Highway 40 with its villages, film sets, scenery and mines, not only matches the images created by 'Treasure of the Sierra Madre' and countless other movies, but surpasses them in every respect.

	Sierra Madre del Sur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sierra Madre del Sur is a mountain range in southern Mexico, extending 1000 km from southern Michoacán east through Guerrero, to the Istmo de Tehuantepec in eastern Oaxaca.
		It joins with the Eje Volcánico Transversal of central Mexico in northern Oaxaca, but is separated from this range further west by the valley of the Río Balsas and its tributary the Río Tepalcatepec.
		Although separated from the main part of the Sierra Madre del Sur by the deep canyon of the lower Río Balsas, the mountains of southern Michoacán around Coalcomán are usually considered part of the Sierra Madre del Sur.

		The Sierra de Juárez has a great variety of habitats due to variations in topography, altitude, geological substrates and climate.
		In the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, which includes the Sierra de Juárez, several indigenous peoples (Chinantec, Mixe and Mixtec) have extensive knowledge of and uses for the flora, which have been receiving thorough ethnobotanical study (Martin and de Avila-B. 1990; Martin 1992).

	[No title]
		The proposed eastward passage of the Cocos-Caribbean-North American triple junction leading to a plate boundary change from transform (no uplift) to subduction (uplift) in the Eocene would predict an eastward propagating Eocene uplift event, which is not apparent in our data.
		There is little change in exhumation rates in response to postulated reorganization of the plate boundary west of the Sierra Madre del Sur (currently the Acapulco trench).
		The complicated age data could be the result of extended duration in the partial annealing (AFT) or retention ((U-Th)/He) zones, or may reflect cooling too shallow to be recorded by known thermochronologic systems.
