I would love to have the missing maps or if you can scan yours and send the scans. We will then stitch the scans to make one solid map to view!

I just realized I didn't get the 1973 map scanned!
I do have it... and it will get added. It shows the paving northbound ending at El Crucero and southbound ending by El Progreso, with a dashed line between the two points indicating the highway under construction.

They are shared purely for educational purposes and being out of print for 12 to 95 years, and that the club fired the entire mapping staff... I think I am honoring them and only preserving all their past wonderful work. I am not selling their product or using their work and calling it my work. I only hope my Baja friends enjoy looking at them, nothing more.

The Sept. 1973 Baja Map now online


With the skill and mapping system of a fellow Nomad, we now can share the 1973 edition of the Auto Club of Southern California's Baja map. Published in September of '73, it shows the southbound paving ending at the Mission San Fernando junction (near El Progreso) and the northbound paving ending at El Crucero (the south end of the original gulf-side road, below Calamajué).

The distance between the paved road is shown as a dashed line and labeled as 'Under Construction' as well as not being placed correctly on the map. The new highway is much closer to the old road in this area... not more than 2 miles away from it and sometimes over the top of it.

When I traveled the new Hwy. 1 in July 1973, the southbound paving ended exactly where the map shows it. The northbound paving was closer to Punta Prieta with sections still unpaved as far south as Villa Jesus María. New roadbed work northbound had reached Laguna Chapala. Southbound, the new roadbed was a bit past San Agustin. The old main 'Baja 1000' road was driven between those points in July 1973. It was just amazing how fast they built, in 1973!

Click on the maps, after they open, to zoom in for super-close detail:

The Central & Southern 1973 Map

The higher detail Northern 1973 Map

These two, and all my other saved maps are at www.vivabaja.com/maps
