Where the heck did that map come from? Awesome!

I think the other Pozo Solorio is La Turquesa (or Las Arrastras),I could of course be wrong but it lines up well with that old mine road over the divide from near Rinconada.

Rinconada 29°29'36"N 114°29'09"W
A trail junction. You could go west to El Gato or Jaraguacito, east to La Turquesa, north to San Ignacito, or south to Pozo Chapala.

That is a word, and a concept that I have never heard before! :wow:

Where did you hear that word as referring to a water source? :?:

The only reference I can find is of a specific cave somewhere around Comondú with paintings inside.

Edit: Cross-posted with your answer. Does that book indicate where he got the word?

[Edited on 8-13-2022 by lencho]


He doesn't say where he learned it. You can see it in other place names on the peninsula. There is also a Los Batequitos.

'Batiquitos' Lagoon is here in San Diego County between Leucadia and Carlsbad (La Costa Ave). I think Padre Crespi named it in 1769, heading for Monterey from San Diego?

Perfect! Thank you for the correction. So the old mine road actually begins at La Rinconada. Cool. Now I can see how well the 1915 map reflects the trail layout.

Harald, can you please share the link or source of this map... It looks really beautiful! I hope the rest of the peninsula is included!

The other name, Sierra San Luis.

In 1765 linck could really begin working on getting the population to the north of San Borja, the territory that would become mission Calamajue, ready for a mission. He called the territory San Luis. There was a place he called "this mission of San Luis", He did have supplies including clothing sent for the neophytes. He also mentions a ranch nearby where horses were raised. In 1766 he doesn't mention a Mission of San Luis but he does visit a rancheria by that name. It is the first water traveling north from Laguna Chapala to Aqua Dulce. Possibly San Ignacito or El Gato. The chieftain of the rancheria would later become neophyte governor of Calamajue.
The territory sounds like a possible origin for the name. He does give the full name at one point as San Luis Gonzaga, so the territory was named after the bay.

San Luis was often how they described Gonzaga Bay... It is Bahía SAN LUIS Gonzaga, after all!
Old Maps of the 1800s had the bay named simply 'San Luis' and with some confusion, the Jesuits would name a population center and future mission of San Luis.
Perhaps not related, but an old rancho named San Luis was between Cataviña and Santa Ynez... It is still there, over-looking the palm arroyo on the south side of the vado.

Ok so apparently a batequi is a water source that is not always available. The kind I described is one kind of batequi. It is an indigenous word but from Sinaloa.

The photo in that article (of the cross at Ligüí) was mine from 2012.

The book of Padre Guillén's expeditions is quite interesting. He discover the future site of Mission Los Dolores Apaté, during his trek to La Paz to help establish that mission in 1720.

In 1721, Guillén moved his mission (San Luis Bautista) from Ligüí (the location name was changed to Malibat by the new tribe who moved into that area) to Apaté.

New financiang was available from a new benefactor, so the mission took on a new name with the move... Nuestra Señora de los Dolores Apaté (also known as 'Dolores del Sur' to prevent confusion with an earlier named Dolores closer to Loreto that had breifly planned on becoming a mission).

So many odd facts ablout the missions that had confused earlier writers, is clarified in my book.

Here is the Ligüí marker cross photo of 2012. The mission foundation was washed away by an expanding arroyo. The last chunk af masonry from it, I photographed in December 2001. The cross was erected about 500 feet from the original site and it too was washed away after the 2012 photo!

Based on the paper David posted a link to, the coast live oak grow over here 29°19'13"N 114°06'25"W

I wonder if you can find the same kind of bedrock mortar milling stations associated with acorn processing farther north.
