The only consistant thing about all these lists of names for the Canyons of the eastern escarpment of the Sierra San Pedro Martir is that they are all diferent.
I have yet to see any two maps with the same set of names and as we see from all the different lists none of them match either. Also it appears that even the locals change the names from time to time.
Only three appear to always get the same name, Agua Caliente, Cajon, and Diablo, the three most recognizable canyons in the range. The rest probably should just be known by their GPS co-ordinates at the mouth.

Another name


I have a map from 1905/6 from E.W.Neslon's survey of lower Califorina for the National Acadamy of Sciences that calls what we know as Cajon by the name of Santa Rosa. It also shows trail said to be used by sheep herders from the Santa Rosa meadow thru the canyon and across the Valle San Felipe to the pass we use now to get to the valley (Saltito Rd). Also it shows a trail down what we call Agua Caliente with the name Carrizo. A trail leading north to the Santa Rosa trail and another south to Matomi.

This book, Lower California And It's Natural Resources, has great detail of Nelson's servey of Lower Calif. 1905-06. Not published till 1919, so has some updates for that time reference.

Stop by when you're in the area.
