Historic Maps


Good morning David. It has been a while, but I am connected again. The Library of Congress has through its map and geography room a large collection of digitized high resolution maps, including one of Baja California from the 1720s. I have used LOC maps in a number of my publications, particularly my 2005 book on missions. You can do a keyword search at this link

David. It is a French map based on Kino that shows California as an Island. Here is the link.

There is also an 1823 map that shows Mexican California. You told me that you have seen it, but here is the LOC link

Hi David. That's also the map we chose for background on the cover of Baja Legends.
