The AAA map is fine for most all applications. Even shows most dirt roads.
Besides, who wants to supply provisions for all those chicks between SF and San Francisquito??capt. mike - 4-20-2010 at 07:19 AM

Going by land or sea?
If by land, then (as Hook said) the AAA map is the popular road map with mileages... owever, there are not a lot of route options, since there is
basically one road. The only option is the junction at Coco's Corner where serious 4WD folks may take the Baja 1000 course through Calamajue Canyon
instead of the main road to Laguna Chapala.
Captain Mike's three maps are GIANT when combined to show all of Baja and make great wall decoration.
The most detail showing topography, roads and trails can be found in The Baja Almanac... the new edition came out last Fall.
Here is the new edition next to the smaller 2003 edition:
A sample map from inside... (with some other roads north of L.A. Bay added by me):
Available from Discover Baja Travel Club in San Diego or online.
There were some errors in the latitude numbers (listed in another thread), but the maps are otherwise very good for auto use.
There are also a series of boater's maps available if you are traveling by sea...wilderone - 4-20-2010 at 07:54 AM
Discover Baja Travel Club in San Diego has maps for sale, as well as other books, insurance, visa services. You might want to see what they have to
offer.snosk8ter - 4-20-2010 at 05:23 PM
Thank you all for the information!! I think the baja almanac by land is just what I am looking for.David K - 4-20-2010 at 07:19 PM
Here's a bit of the AAA Baja map from Puertecitos south to Hwy. 1 at El Crucero... The edited arrows were to show the location of the short cut that
'The squarecircle' (Roy), TW and others got through using an old mine road in La Turquesa Canyon with Roy's Land Rover LR-3 a couple years ago and
documented here.
Here's a larger area down to L.A. Bay with edited notes showing roads not on that (or any other map)...
The maps are available or were available at Discover Baja, as well.yellowtail67 - 4-21-2010 at 05:58 AM
The Almanac map is the bomb! Awesome info and detail for trekking.
