Image Caption: STS080-702-095 San Luis Potosi, Mexico November 1996
The concentration of highly reflective surfaces (near the center of the image) is the city of San Luis Potosi. In addition to being located on the arid to semi-arid Mexican Plateau that averages 6500 feet - 1980 meters above sea level, San Luis Potosi is flanked by several mountain ranges (darker, eroded features), particularly west, south, and even east of the developing urban area. San Luis Potosi is favorably located to function as an important ground transportation hub for central Mexico (the thin, light colored lines appear to be recently constructed highways). For example consider that the so-called NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) Highway, basically a north-south artery, passes through the city. There is also an east-west highway linkage that connects the Gulf of Mexico coast with the west coast of Mexico that also passes through the city. San Luis Potosi is an important stop for one of Mexico's principal railroad lines (railroad right of way is very difficult to trace across the computer image).
