A game?
As David K does, lets see if you can spot the other Tijuana on this map. According to another legend the word Tijuana comes from a place similar in
aspect of terrain (I've seen pictures) that is located in Baja California Sur and is also named Tijuana.
You can read about this place under Etymology here:

David, these maps are very enjoyable to see, at least for me. Thank you for taking the time to upload them here.
You really are an incredible source of information on Baja.

Close Up Cape Region 1930
That area is so 'busy', it is hard to make out the places... so here is a zoom in:

Looks like if you started in TJ the furthest south you could get on some sort of road is San Quintin. Is that right?

There were wagon roads made for the many mines... including El Marmol... Automobiles were pretty rare before WWII... I do have a photo of the first
auto to drive the peninsula (about 1928) and it wasn't easy!
The remote section was El Rosario to San Ignacio...

This map of baja seems advanced for it's time, except for the roads.

If you look at the enlargement of the southern most map and go north out of Todos Santos you'll see an area where "fresh water" is marked. That's
interesting. Is there any development going on along the coast that far north of TS?

On the edge of that image is Rancho La Aguja... that is where Nomad 'Rob' is... Other small places survived the 78 years since that map was made! Los
Inocentes is also on the Baja Almanac as it was in 1930...

I would be happy to post a close up of any area of Baja that is of interst to you from this 1930 map or any of the other old maps I have posted on
this forum in the past!
Here is the Pacific coast from Punta Blanco to Laguna Guerrero Negro (Black Warrior Lagoon), for example:

This is history and IT IS FUN!
