This is the oldest edition of the full-peninsula map I have seen.
This same basic map was what they used into the 1960s with just some improvements on the coastline and road location.

When you open the link, click the crossed arrows to go full page map and now you can scroll and zoom in with your mouse.

I discovered TW had spotted this same year map 5 years ago, but no zoom... http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=79827

The year (1934) is per the website wording. Upon closer examination, that is the year of the guidebook shown with the map. The date code on the map is not scrambled but I am not sure if 1932 is 100% correct. Code is 03324 so maybe April 3, 1932? I know it isn't 1923 or 1924 because I have their map/ guide of 1927 and it ends south of San Quintin with El Rosario mentioned.
