Nope. Hint: On the road down the opposite side of Baja... on this map:

Very close... the exact answer is between La Presa and La Pasión/Mission Los Dolores Chillá (Rancho la Capilla today).

The aqueduct dates from well after the mission period and comes from the rancho period and feeds water (or did) to La Presa.

Some answers for the first group of photos and hints for the next:


Answers:
#4 La Bocana Beach, west of El Rosario.
#2 & #6 Valle Chico, southwest of San Felipe.
#8 (3 photos of boojums) The road between El Sauzalito copper mine and San Juan de Dios mission visita, east of El Rosario, north of Hwy. 1 (KM. 103).

The next group still has un-guessed locations.

HINTS:

#12, whales come here.

#13, it has an airstrip and a military camp, both closed when I drove by.

#16, the final location of a mission that began on a bay, 50 miles north.

Well, while #10 and 7 are both looking at Diablo Mountain, they were taken over 30 miles apart. As for your other answers, do I really need to use Google Earth? LOL
Thank you for playing 😊

Correct! The museum, with the line and globe, is just 3 kms. south of the Santiago entrance road.
