Mis-named Tinaja de Santa Maria. Just off the Golfo Camino Real. Arthur North mis-named the Tinaja in his 1910 book.

I put the Tinaja de Santa María on the new Baja Atlas, being a 'famous' water hole. Tinaja de Yubay and Agua Dulce are also shown... all making
travel on El Camino Real possible.

is there any way to download those maps? So I can work on a map and study it without being tied to a server?

There was a Rancho Agua Dulce out on the main road near the junction to the spring side road. It was abandoned in the 1956 printing of the Lower
California Guidebook. Noted as 'ruins' on the Gulick map...
The modern Rancho Agua Dulce is next to the gully containing the spring, on the short side road. It was established after 2004 sometime.
The map location for Muleginos is not anywhere close to Agua Dulce, being on the wrong side of 'Onyx' (El Mármol)? However, as with other weird
things on maps, it isn't the only off-mark location.
This 1930 map also has Agua Dulce off just a bit when compared to San Augustin (Agustin) and El Tule (old name for 'Onyx' or 'El Mármol'), but north
of Cataviña and south of El Tule.

What are the red arcs with the red blocks colored in? For example, around San Jose del Cab, La Paz and other towns. There also seems to be a range
distance written in red.

Lance, it might be fun to do a side by side with the 1922 or 1946 map against more modern, accurate maps... The 1962 Howard Gulick maps were the first
mostly accurate maps and then we have the modern INEGI (Baja Almanac) and Benchmark Road Atlas maps.
We can see that the 1922/ 1946 map placement of some locations is not close to reality but most are places we can find today. Codornices is Rancho San
Antonio, for example. The 'Marmol' is the onyx mine of Cerro Blanco or San Telmo... and today, signs point it out as 'El Marmolito' (not to be
confused with the El Marmolito south of (Nuevo) Rosarito that shipped the blocks out from Miller's Landing.
Isn't this all fun??

That's what I thought until I saw the arc at Bahia de la Magdalena, which only includes the bay and not the sea outside it.

cool map, thanks for posting
I think "El Tule" (The Reeds) was referring to the "Geyser" (soda springs) in Arroyo Volcan. Or is was there a different El Tule west of "Onyx" (El
Marmol) ?

In one of my old sources, the place where they began getting onyx was named 'El Tule'... which indeed was also the early name for Arroyo El Volcán.
The next name used was simply 'Onyx'... before the name El Mármol.
El Volcán is 4 (road) miles from El Mármol. So, not too distant from each other.
