Historic geopolitics as method of spatial analysis allows the understanding of the internal relationships of time, space and society; explaining the socio-spatial transformations of the agrarian systems where there is the intervention of the physical environment, society and its economy within a given territory. Through these referees it is proposed to develop an historic characterization of the agrarian systems of the haciendas in the high basin of Río Lerma, State of México. Here I intend to explain the agrarian system functioning, the types of territorial production systems, crop systems, husbandry and agro forestry, the reproduction of agro economic systems and the technological management of the intervening resources in the agricultural production. In this way we offer substantive elements that allow understanding the historic evolution of the agrarian systems in the study basin, in order to take it in account when doing its future territorial planning.
