The INEGI link for PDF and GeoPDF maps is on my website, VivaBaja.com:
Mexican Topographic Maps from INEGI
(choose scale, area, and click PDF or GeoPDF where available)

Wow this is great news!
While i have a GPS and I'm down for the occasional googlin', nothing beats pulling out a proper atlas to plan the next day's maneuvers or to swap
tips aroumd the campfire.

Nice! A couple years ago I download every single 50K INEGI map (there are about 2300 of them), and stitched them together into the seamless online
topographic maps you now see on the Caltopo website. 1600 of those INEGI maps are nice georeferenced digital PDFs, but the rest are a mishmash
various formats including rough scans of old paper maps.

Naw, this isn't true. Not at all in 2021.
An Atlas is a nice to have. If you have high res satellite images for all of Baja on every device (phone, tablet, etc.) of every person in your
group, combined with hundreds of tracks and way points you'd quickly understand the fallacy of that statement.

I use both. All these tools are nice to haves imo. It doesnt really matter though as this is not a competition.
Thanks davidk for the good news.

True - I love my computer, but a paper atlas is nice for general planning and sharing ideas with friends.

INEGI has a 20K map series as well. I had to remind myself just now why I had decided to work with INEGI's 50K maps instead. If you're curious --
INEGI's 20k series is hit & miss. Some 20K maps are excellent, while others are empty except for single coastline line.

The seem to be continuously working on them. I haven't checked back in on the 50K maps in a couple years, but the best of the 20K maps I showed above
is dated 2020.

Las Astarissas
Looking at H11D29 PDFs
The 2004 INEGI map shows two buildings at Las Arrastritas
The 2018 INEGI map shows five buildings.
David’s placement at Km179.5 it is way different than the INEGI maps
What is the explanation?
I was told once that water is available at the INEGI location near the old Coco place where the buildings are situated.

The place called Las Arrastritas (not Arrastras) on that map is the rancho on the old old (pre-1982) road where Coco's stand-by helper comes from (and
his source of water).
Las Arrastras is off the map above... where the new highway splits away from the older roads south.

I'm very appreciative!
My understanding is that it wasn't until 2014 that INEGI put the maps into public domain for free copying.

Many governments don't freely give out their maps. United Kingdom, for example.

Agree - INEGI is first class
And the effort continues to replace my 2004 PDF versions with 2018 PDF versions.
I am sure I will deal with updating when time allows.
I guess I have to look at them one at a time to find the new ones?
Do you have a list of the ones that are updated?

you can download the INEGI top maps here: https://www.inegi.org.mx/temas/topografia/
For each map, you have choice of format (tiff, gif, pdf, geo-pdf formats depending on date and location) and date/version, so can pick and choose
which date map you want.
Woke!
