I didn't make the map in question. Why not ask Harald why he used a different map then the one asked about to respond to the question?

You are talking about the heavy lines and not the thin lines, yes?

The 750-meter labeled line can be followed up and down and around. There is one more heavy line (850 meter?) before San Francisco then 4 thin lines (20 meters each?) giving us 930 meters for San Francisco (3,051'). As I said, my GPS said it was 3,640'... but GPS may not be dead on, either.

don't know the scale of the map you are using, David.
can you check on its index?

The 1:250,000 scale map I am using (889463532347_geo G1201 Santa Rosalia) has fat lines every 300 meters and 4 thin lines every 60 meters
so I was wrong with the 100 meter interval earlier quoted

San Francisco de la Sierra is at 1,141 meters

1,141? That is pretty close to my GPS reading there, of 1,109 meters.

I will have to search for that map on Inegi as I didn't save it... just added it for Nomad interest.
