Montenegro was an illustrator, painter and muralist. This map comes from a 1935 brochure entitled "Mexico," published by the Southern Pacific Railway, in which it states that the original paintings for these images hung in Southern Pacific's ticket office in Mexico City, and that they "illustrate three of the states served by the Southern Pacific Railroad of Mexico-Nayarit, Sonora and Sinaloa." The third mural is not present here as it appeared on a different page of the original brochure.
