those early 1900's maps are very frustrating

they seem to be based on hearsay and not so much on survey
many names are out of place

looking at satellite data with passable valleys, visible trails and known water sources, completely different routes emerge than what the maps suggest

Why I included the Gulick map, as it is very close to accurate, and the nearest such map to when Goldbaum drew his in 1918. It would surprise me if the 1971 geology map, 10 years after Gulick's research wasn't accurate as well... and it includes Leon Grande, too.

To help understand this section of the map, the location below is that hill just above Rancho San Julio. Ignore Jaraguay, it is in the wrong place as will be explained.

Someone said San Julio was today's Rancho La Bocana.
What say you?

Mentally erase Arroyo Jaraguay from the Goldbaum map when comparing the two images above. It is surprisingly accurate.
Do you see it? Goldbaum doesn't say Catavina, it says Catarina.

Arroyos Jaraguay and Jaraguacito are shown on Goldbaum. Las Palmas is on Arroyo Jaraguay. They are shown flowing into Arroyo San Julio instead of Arroyo Cuervitas.

Las Palmas

My Facebook chat with Juan, owner of Rancho Las Palomas, if you have questions for him.


This exchange may be of interest to Nomads that recall my April 2017 trip to this area. This was following the photos I posted of the adobe at Codornices (San Antonio) from 'geoffff' [Juan's words are auto-translated to English]:

Juan Carlos Aviña Ornelas:
In those conditions I met that ranch in 1970.
Eventually I pass through the ruins of that ranch today.
I am an ejidatarian of San Jose de las Palomas and one of the access routes to the ejido where I belong is this.

David Kier:
Juan Carlos Aviña Ornelas, It is great to hear from you. I am currently talking with the Arce/ Torres (Rancho San Luis) family who are related to Teodoro Estrada Zúñiga of this ranch (Codornices).

Juan Carlos Aviña Ornelas:
David Kier, Thank you very much for the attention.
I am the owner of RANCHO LAS PALOMAS, in ejido San Jose de las Palomas, about 30 kilometers west of Rancho Codornices.
Kind regards.

David Kier:
Juan Carlos Aviña Ornelas, Do you know what happened with Rancho La Miseria, near you? I 'rescued' Leo and Lorena Durazo, who flagged me down for help, and ended up driving them both south to Santa Rosalillita and then to Punta Prieta. Lorena told me they had been abandoned and unpaid by the ranch owner and were in need of food and medicine for Leo's bad heart condition. What a night, driving all in the dark!

This was my satellite text message to Antonio Muñoz of the Baja Cactus Motel and Pemex, in El Rosario: Apr 23, 2017 6:02 PM:
Hola Antonio, tengo emergencia with the couple at Rancho Miseria de Candelario. Their truck broke miles away. They need heart meds and food [abandoned here for] 2 months. … Señor Candelario Aguire Arce is the owner. He has taxis in Rosarito. … They have no food or medicine. … Can you get ahold of him to bring help to his employees stuck here? On the San Antonio road, east of Bahia Blanco. … Leo y Lorena Durazo.

Juan Carlos Aviña Ornelas:
David Kier, I have knowledge that LEO already died and LORENA back to Tijuana with her family.
The Ranch of Misery is the same, it's still abandoned and vandalized.
One of the causes was the exceptional Drought affecting our state.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you guys want me to ask Juan any questions about his Rancho Las Palomas or the Ejido de San José de las Palomas, let me know!

San Antonio/ Los Codornices, yes... I am chatting with them almost daily as I am working on the family tree of Eliodoro Arce. Just added dozens more names!
How far is Tinaja Ortiz from the adobe at Codornices/ San Antonio?

Can you pin point where they live. I noticed a well traveled road looping just south of San Antonio ruins?
No roads visible on GE.

Well, nobody lives at the adobe or nearby... a ranch house is a couple miles east, just south of the road, but it looked abandoned when I went by. Not sure geoffff commented on it? Then, just off the road that comes south from Km. 252, is a ranch.

I will ask where they live, currently chatting with Gardenia Cota (daughter of the owner, José Cota Zúñiga & Dolores Gaxiola Arce) and with (via his cousin) Teodoro Estrada Zúñiga (son of Salvador Estrada & Antonia (Toña) Zúñiga Arce).

This Arce family, connected with Eliodoro is huge!
