Puerto San Luis Gozaga (the mission warehouse location) used to have an inscription on the hill.
It is gone now.
Anyone have knowledge or a picture of what it said?

Some sort of landmark for mariners?

I have seen some odd parallel lines in a couple of places; north of Ronoso, south of El Alamo, both in remote spots near old mining districts. I figure either some sort of prospecting or "cilantro" farming but not sure.

This Javier Cota guy has been using Howard Gulick's photos from the 50s and early 60s. I think without looking real long, that photo is either Papa Fernandez' or Okie Landing. By looking at the original Gulick Collection images you may get a better look at the name on the hill? The links (2) to the Gulick collection is in my website, www.vivabaja.com

Here is Gulick's warehouse photo, from the same period in time as that fish camp photo:



Here is Dr. Ritter's paper on the warehouse (it has another Gulick photo as well): https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/488b16_d6a1399d09974ddd9dd3b0...

You will see other new photos at the site in the same direction as the photo you posted and can see it is a different location.

Here is my photo of the warehouse in 2002:


That's Punta Willard by Papa Fernandez' camp in the background.

Papa Fernandez' Camp


The writing on that hill says" BAHIA SAN LUIS GONZAGA"

Here is the source picture and you can zoom in on it: https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb18783597/zoom/0

The photo was taken on: 1960-11-25

Here's another view of the warehouse ruins with Alfonsina's area in the background: https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb9694134p

A 1958 photo of where Alfonsina's will be built in a few years: https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb7339163r
