Gulick 1960 - Las Palomas?

Hi Lance
I am far away for my library and maps. but a quick search found the following
All copied from previous Nomad threads.

Regarding Los Polmas both INEGI & Atlas show it clearly at 20 6.65, -114 32.553, and slightly east. INEGI shows Codornices general area with no specific location. A specific location is found further east called SanJose las Palomas. These locations are on the road we call Condornice road.

The Rancho known as Condornices (ranch not shown on the Almac or the Atlas). And this ranch does not appear on Google earth.
There is a place called “San Antonio” (AB) that some might called “Rancho Condornices” based on Gulick’s 1967 map?

The Almac shows a place called Condornices, but that label is east of the present functional rancho on the road we call Condornices.

Search Nomads for extensive discussion on your subject.

Also search for the great Mural of Condornices where rock art is found. Not near you positions.

Your second cords 29 24 14n, -114 37 13w =29 24.233, -114 37.217 does not show on the Atlas See the image below from Benchmark Atlas. Also, nothing shows on INEGI.

Lance the first photos from Howard you linked to are indeed at the Las Palomas, on Gulick's map. It is on the same road that passes what he called Codornices (and newer maps call San Antonio). Looks exactly like the place where I drove by in 2017.

This place had no ranch I could see from the road I was on and it was a short distance west of La Miseria (where I rescued that couple and others have too). On the satellite image (at Harald's waypoint) would be the closest thing to the Las Palomas of Gulick.

Maybe utilize some of the 200 maps I have now at VivaBaja.com to help see how names change or not.

The ejido in this area uses the name San José de las Palomas.

the census database of the government has Codornices at 29°11'15.69"N, 114°17'51.46"W. Meaning a real person living there told the gov, this is Codornices.

To clear things up regarding Codornices- The water source located here 29°11'44"N 114°19'01"W is the original Codornices. At some point a ranch called San Antonio was built there. The old Rancho San Antonio is located at Codornices.

David is correct -- Meanwhile

I went to H11D48 1974 and found Cementerio Codarnices
I went to H11D49 1974 and found San Antonio (Codarnices)

I went to H11D49 1974 and found San Antonio (Codarnices)
I went to H11D49 2019 and found Cementerio gone and found a new location for Las Palomas.
And Added Rancho Codarnices at the place I called Rancho above
Then I found several more buildings located along the Codarnices road.
My conclusion is INEGI is doing real updates and Cap topo does not reflect the changes.

Looking at Google Earth at San Antonio is an image from 2005. When I was there a year ago there was a lot of trees and no visible surface water.
