INEGI website has an online map that has most all of the geographic names for INEGI geographic/map products.

If you wait a bit, Mr. Map will probably post all of the gringo-made maps for that area. I predict he will post no less than 5 ;D

INEGI topo (G12A23) doesn't list a name
Baja Almanacs (neither version) don't list a name
none of my maps (I have a few) list a name
it's a true Baja mystery

from Baja Topographic Atlas


pages 135/136

I'll try to post both map portions in this one reply, otherwise it'll be two replies - so, I can't figure out how to add two images to one post, oh well.
