Not personal, Harald... just the facts. 
Swapping the bay names at Gonzaga, the Arroyo el Volcán name with 'Zamora', etc. It is just careless work of a government employee.
Ensenada San Francisquito is the south half of the double bay, named after the gold ore mill, San Francisquito (later called Molino de Lacy) and
Puerto San Francisquito (later called Punta Final Resort).
Arroyo Las Arrastras on INEGI was Arroyo San Francisquito, named after the waterhole on El Camino Real, original called San Francisco 29.5522,
-114.3441. It is almost across the highway from the new Coco's Corner (at Las Arrastras)... just a little north. Anyway, that waterhole gave its name
to all the many San Francisquito's of this area.

Organizations like INEGI have procedures for managing place names. I am sure INEGI is following their internal procedures, and it is not a case of
“lazy government employees.”
If old place names have fallen out of use, and locals now use different names, why should INEGI use an old name that few or no locals are using?

Woke!

will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.”

I am not speaking of newer names, I am speaking of reversing names... a parallel arroyo and a neighboring bay both had their names reversed on INEGI
maps... That is just insulting.
