The article is a hermeneutical exercise applied to a map of the XVI century. This reinterpretation was conducted from an interdisciplinary approach whose main interest was the geographical area of Veracruz of sixteenth century. For a better understanding, the text is divided into three parts: the first is a synthesis of ancient cartography; The following section is a technical characterization of a map of 1592; finally, the sixteenth century map was compared with modern bathymetry of Veracruz. One of the most compelling findings is the actual location of the Island Gavias considered missing or destroyed in the past. When in fact the island has always been in your place, but a problem philological, semantic and cultural between natural, Castilians and Basques made a typo of more than three centuries.
