Nice!
Does anybody know what t.t.s stands for in the legend?David K - 7-2-2025 at 09:00 AM
T.T.T. and T.T.S. follow 'TERRACERIA' (Dirt Road). The TTT is with a single line, on the map is where dirt roads are shown. The TTS is a dashed line,
also dirt roads but in addition, trails and where there are no roads, so imaginary roads, perhaps.BooJumMan - 7-2-2025 at 10:23 AM
Nice. Thank you.
Maybe I had never noticed on other older maps, but I don't recall ever seeing a road/trail on Isla Magdalena before.

Very interesting map, thank you for posting. David K - 7-2-2025 at 12:36 PM
Old maps are like windows into the past.
Sadly, this map (and other government maps) doesn't quite get all the locations or names correct.
Fortunately, Howard Gulick extensively mapped the peninsula in the 1950s and early 60s. There are three editions of maps he produced for the Lower
California Guidebook, and while it is not perfect, it is pretty darn close!
Since there was no road south of the Sulfur Mine before 1956, when traveled, there is no coverage between the mine south of San Felipe and Gonzaga
Bay. It was shown on the next edition, 1958. All three editions ('56, '58, and '62) are on my www.vivabaja.com/maps page for you to see.

Cool map.
I get finer and faster zoom by using my browser's zoom feature.
Apparently it's a vector map, not a raster image.

This was sent to me as two maps (Norte y Sur). Our Nomad map guy, geoffff, does a great job at stitching them together.BajaBlanca - 7-4-2025 at 01:05 AM
No La Bocana existed!! Wow.
I did not know that the waters east of Punta Abreojos are called Bahia Ballenas, or that it may have been named PUNTA ABROJOS first.BajaBlanca - 7-4-2025 at 01:12 AM
This cactus is outside the Antalya Anthropological Museum, which is about 2 hours away from our city (Alanya). There are cacti absolutely everywhere
in Turkiye and some are downright HUGE.David K - 7-4-2025 at 08:59 AM
La Bocana may have been a tiny fish camp and simply not on that map, which has many mistakes and omissions.
Here is BahÃa Ballenas on the 1962 Howard Gulick map, which here was modified to show new roads... oh, and La Bocana is on it, too:
