The Chichimeca War (1550-1600 d.C.) entailed a significant change in the Hispanic strategy and conception of the war in New Spain and their policy regarding the bands and tribes of the northern frontier. The utilisation of forts (presidios) along the road network that connected the mines with the ca...

The utilisation of forts (presidios) along the road network that connected the mines with the capital and the agricultural areas was a milestone in the form of control over the territory for the New Spain viceroyalty. These presidios were, in fact, the origin of the «pacification» of the Great Chichimeca throughout the last two decades of the sixteenth century. In this paper, we analyse these forts’ location, their control over the territory, and their visibility. We use GIS (Geographic Information System) and data obtained through fieldwork in the study area and research to indicate which area was dominated by the Ojuelos presidio, one of the few still preserved, and how effective it was in its controlling task. La Guerra Chichimeca (1550-1600 d.C.) conllevó un cambio significativo en la estrategia y concepción de la guerra por parte de los españoles en Nueva España, así como su política con respecto a las bandas y tribus de la frontera septentrional. El empleo de presidios a lo largo de la red vial que comunicaba las minas con la capital y las zonas de aprovechamiento agropecuario marcaron un hito en la forma de control del territorio para el virreinato de Nueva España. Estos presidios fueron, de hecho, el origen de la “pacificación” de la Gran Chichimeca a lo largo de las últimas dos décadas del siglo XVI. La ubicación de estos fuertes, el control que ejercían en el territorio y su visibilidad constituyen los elementos esenciales que analizamos en el presente trabajo. Por medio del SIG (Sistema de Información Geográfica), así como del trabajo de campo llevado a cabo en la zona de estudio y de la investigación realizada, indicaremos qué área dominaba y si el presidio de Ojuelos, uno de los pocos que se conservan en la actualidad, fue efectivo en su labor de control.
