AAA 1927 MAP *and* added 1962 Baja Maps plus the 1905 Mining Map!
The 'road' went as far as El Rosario, or at least the road log that went with these three maps...
Map 1: San Diego to Ensenada

Thanks Richard!
Like Neal Johns (who is four wheeling in Australia), I collect Baja publications... The biggest collector is 'Rockman' who sells or trades off his
list of Baja publications.
I found thie 1927 auto club reprint on the Internet... You should read the 9 page road log that goes with these maps!

The three maps are on one page of the booklette (8 1/2" X 11") side by side.
Here's a part of a 1905 Baja mining map I have...

Here is an old photo of the flour mill warehouse (Old Mill) at San Quintin, where the railroad began... It was going to near Yuma, just as the new
planned railroad from Punta Colonet will do.

The 1962 Auto Club Baja Map
This was close to what the "Highway 1" was like for my family in 1966. The pavement south ended north of Colonet and did not begin again until about
100 miles north of La Paz. It ended again about 10 miles south of La Paz with grading for the future highway not yet reaching Los Barriles. The main
road south of Mulegé went through Comondú, not Loreto.
South of San Vicente, the wide, graded roads continued south of the pavement end to San Quintin area and not again until a section from Santa Rosalia
to Mulegé. A long, miserable, washboard grading started again by Pozo Grande, through Constitución, to the pavement start, 100 miles from La Paz.
The road south to Todos Santos was graded. All the rest of the main road to Cabo or East Cape to Cabo was a single lane wide pair of ruts (unimproved
dirt road)!
