The full map... detail may not be visible.
When one zooms in on parts, like Harald did with Salina Cuarenta Mátires, you can read the place names. I have sent it to geoffff to see if he can
work some magic on it.

For example...
Roads (trails) are dashed lines and arroyos are solid lines.
*We can see Mulegé, in the lower right corner.
*Punta de Santa Inés (Punta Chivato).
*The trail from Mulegé meets the arroyo at Magdalena (ruins washed away in 2014).
*Up the arroyo a bit is Rondin (where the arroyo exits the mountain, later called Boca de Magdalena). Rondin is mentioned in one of my old books.
*San José (San José de Magdalena)
*The trail splits and one continues to Palo Hachada (Palo cut off)
* Mission Guadalupe is on the left, lower side.
Rondin:
Sebastian Viosca (United States Consul in La Paz, 1861) wrote a report saying "the Jesuits founded the abolished mission of La Magdalena on these
plains, about 5 leagues distant from Mulegé." He continues, "On the north of these plains is the place called Rondin."

I bumped up a thread showing all the before and after Magdalena photos and discussion. Try and see through the Photobucket water marks.
