More...
Mision San Borja
The airstrip (former) can be seen just south. The mission is at the cleared area... this area does not have the closest zoom available.
Bahia de los Angeles
Punta San Francisquito
You can zoom right in to the cabanas at PSFO resort!
Rancho La Bocana (called 'San Pedro' in Almanac)
This is a remote place, way south of L.A. bay. The Golfo Camino Real (east route of the Camino Real between Santa Gertrudis and San Borja) used the
big Arroyo San Pedro in front of the ranch.
Eagle Monument, Guerrero Negro
The map is centered on the monument on the state border, you can scroll up for Laguna Manuela or down for Scammon's Lagoon, etc.
Guillermo Prieto (north of Vizcaino)
OK, here you can see the little village and the 'new' road that continues north to Santa Gertrudis and San Francisquito/ L.A. Bay. You can easily scan
north and follow it across the state border, across the El Arco-Santa Gertrudis road and all the way to its junction with the El Arco-San Francisquito
road.
Bahia Tortugas
Rancho el Matomi (west of Puertecitos)
Bahia Santa Maria, south of San Felipe
Rancho/Laguna Percebu & north end of Shell Island
Punta San Fermin
Puertecitos

The list of image links continues...
El Marmol (onyx school house)
The image is centered on the ruins of the famous schoolhouse. The road to El Volcan is seen going to the top right (NE) of the image. Scroll around or
zoom out to see more. The old road leading southeast can be followed all the way to its intersection with the old Baja main road (between Agua Dulce
and La Virgen)...
Perhaps I should move all these links to there own page or a web page so you armchair Baja explorers can find them fast?
You know what is cool, is that you can see roads leading off that you may miss on the ground... Just double click your mouse at the junction of a road
that you want to find later when in Baja, and the GPS is in the URL for that image, at the junction (WGS84). 
El Marmol Road at Hwy. 1 (next to Cafe Sonora)
Old Southern road to/from El Marmol at Old Main Baja Road
Agua Dulce (historic spring on El Camino Real)
Catavina Rock Art Site (near Hwy. 1 at north arroyo crossing)

Scroll along the coast for the other nearby points...

Wow, this sure opens things up! But on the Gonzaga Bay link, looks like a couple of islands (Encantada & San luis) are missing.

Islas Encantadas
You just have to scroll north from Gonzaga, and there they are!
Isla San Luis & Isla Pomo (You can zoom in more)
Isla Miramar (El Muerto) (Baja coast and Hwy. 5 also in this image)
Isla El Huerfanito (The Little Orphan) and Nacho's Camp
The big arroyo heading west is Arroyo El Volcan (mis named 'Zamora' in the Almanac. It can be follwed a great distance...
It does seem that there are no images for Isla Encantada and Isla Lobos!
To 'fly over' Baja from your computer: Just hold down the mouse left key and drag it anywhere from the strating points I posted. Zooming in or out is
possible... but many areas do not yet have the highest resolution images (to see houses, cars on the road, shrubs).

I agree that a couple of the islands are missing. You are right about San Luis, it is the volcano. The others are missing. Wayno

(More) Points along Hwy. 1
Turnoff to Punta San Carlos (Km. 80-81)
Mision San Fernando access at Hwy. 1
North access to Mision San Fernando (via old Baja main road)
El Progreso (on Hwy. 1), signed access to San Fernando
Mision San Fernando
San Agustin (Abdn. Pemex, trailer park)
Arroyo Agua Dulce & water truck access road at Hwy. 1
When Hwy. 1 was under construction, this road was built to bring water from Agua Dulce. It is badly washed out in two places. The image can be zoomed
all the way to max...
New/good access to Agua Dulce
This one was discovered by Neal Johns... Follow it north from Hwy. 1 to the old main Baja road, then just a shorth distance left to the Agua Dulce
side road... turning right on the old main road is a fun drive all the way past La Virgen to near the Catavina rock art site on Hwy. 1.
Faro San Jose Road at Hwy. 1
This leads to the Pacific coast and branches into two roads. Turning inland leads back to the old Baja road, south of La Virgen.

I found something interesting: geologic interest
This is one of the great things about this space based Baja exploring... We can find things that warrent a close up look (in person). I was following
Arroyo Agua Dulce up stream from the famous water hole... and where the arroyo passes between these two hills, is several mineral stained areas, like
the onyx spring behind Gonzaga Bay...
Mineral residue Arroyo Agua Dulce

I wonder what this is for???
Mystery Airstrip
Just north of this runway is the large Arroyo El Junco (Baja Almanac Map 16, E-5. Some minor road is a ways to the west, and connects to the old south
El Marmol road... not a big tourist area...

This whole concept is incredible! Still can't find the missing islands, but figure there will be an explanation later. Is Graham aware of this?
Think about how this would have impacted his trips, and now future ones... Wayno

No kidding Wayno... I want to make a list in one place for all these points... grouped logically. That way any Nomad can go quickly to that place, or
scroll easily to a close location.
