Abstract: | The model of the torus as a parallelogram in the plane with opposite sides identified enables us to define two families of
parallel lines and to tessellate the torus, then to associate to each tessellation a toroidal map with an upward drawing.
It is proved that a toroidal map has a tessellation representation if and only if its universal cover is 2-connected. Those
graphs that admit such an embedding in the torus are characterized.
