(Yo el autor, realice el plano calcándolo de un mapa oficial poco detallado, por esta razón el plano no es 100% exacto en medidas pero la distribución y volumétrica concuerdan con la forma de las manzanas y de los edificios, la escala grafica es sacada intuitivamente, libero mi trabajo al dominio publico: SajoR)
context_page_description: A manzana is a unit of area used in Argentina and in many Central American countries, originally defined as 10,000 square varas in Spanish customary units.
  Today its size varies between countries:
  In Argentina it is equivalent to a hectare.
  In most Central American countries it is about 7,000 m², varying between countries.
  In Belize it is 8,353 m².
  In Nicaragua it is 7,042.25 m².
  If a vara is taken as 83.59 cm, then a manzana of 10,000 square varas is equal to 6,987.29 m². In calculations, the approximate value of 7000 m² is often used to simplify conversion.

  Today its size varies between countries:
  In Argentina it is equivalent to a hectare (i.e. 10,000 m²).
  In most Central American countries it is about 7,000 m² (1.7 acres), varying between countries.
  In Belize it is 8,353 m² (2.064 acres).
  In Nicaragua it is 7,042.25 m² (1.74018 acres).
  If a vara is taken as 83.59 cm, then a manzana of 10,000 square varas is equal to 6,987.29 m². In calculations, the approximate value of 7000 m² (or equivalently 0.7 ha) is often used to simplify conversion.
