MAP: 1847 MEXICO


As you may know, the war with Mexico ended in 1848... The U.S. had occupied all of California (including Baja) and decided to return the peninsula to Mexico. This map shows what was Mexico after Texas broke away as an independent republic and before the U.S. gained the land from Texas to the Pacific.




The peninsula is called 'Old California' (Antigua California) and the vast area north of it is called Upper or New California (Alta o Nueva California).

I always wonder what Baja would look like if the USA kept it or took it....probably much different than it looks now.
