These are great David, thanks. It's interesting how the name Cabo de San Lucas came around full circle after being Cape San Lucas for 100+ years!

I noticed in map #5 all the sugar mills and sugar fields in the area. Anyone know what became of all that sugar production?

Regarding all the sugar mills, I believe they had some dry years and ended up lowering the water table way, way down. Many wells went dry so the
producers up and left. After several years the water tables came back up, but the cane farmers never returned.

Interesting maps, I didn't see some of the places that we visit in the area, and I know they've been there for at least a hundred years or so. We
usually take a trip to Candelario, but also visit: Sausal, and some Ranchos, Rancho San Felipe, and Rancho San Francisco. We leave from Cabo, and go
inland, would be interesting to locate those areas on a map. Maybe they're too small to make the cut. Heather

Hi Heather,
I focused the map on the Los Frailes area of East Cape per request from Gaucho...
If you want, I will show the South-West cape region, if I cut it off in some of the maps.
The 1930 map shows the most places (ranchos, villages)... of the early 20th Century...

Okay, to see some of the places you named: 'Sausal' (El Sauzal?), 'San Felipe'... I found them on my 2003 Almanac... Here is the close up map... There
is a church and graveyard shown at or near Rancho San Felipe, is it historic (mission-era)?
