Maps compared 1918 to 1962
I tried to crop the maps so they each show the same area of Baja. 1918, 1919, 1922, 1930 all have north at the top. The 1962 Gulick maps are sectional
and oriented so the most area fits, with the different top directions going northwest. The Gulick maps are the most accurate as for road and rancho
placements.
Perhaps some of you who are better at this can play around a bit more with lining things up? I can email you the scanned images if you like.

1919
1922
1930
1962 (2 part)
'Fish Camp' is Puerto Canoas today and San Julio on the older maps.

These two maps?
1922
1946
The 1922 and 1946 maps look pretty much identical to me, except for a few additional roads drawn in on the 1946 map. These are the only differences I
could spot:

Thank you geoffff!
Lance, does this work for you?
Good job, Geoff!!
Q: Do you have this 1930 Baja map preserved on your site the same way the 1922 and 1946 maps are above? If not I can send you the high res scans. Here
are the Postimages.org images:

no, I don't have the 1930 map scan yet. That would be great! Also, I can share with you a list of what I have collected so far.

Great...
I will email you my 1930 map scans and maybe you can stich them into one full, zoomable map?

Super!
This interesting map was for sale at the Birch (Scripps) Aquarium giftshop several years ago.
I had it laminated. So glad my scans of it could be made into a single image.
Thank you, geoffff!
