Anyway, you can't search what hasn't been posted before... and I am posting many close up maps that have not been on Nomad yet (I don't think)... but big deal... it sure beats the political crap or hearing how dangerous Rosarito is to 'American'... IMO.

De Nada... I have it and I think it is best to share it... it has no value if only I can enjoy it, in my opinion. Sort of like a beautiful place in Baja... such a waste if it is only enjoyed by you for a couple days a year!

Let me know if there is anything in my library or files you would like see again or closer or whatever... el gusto es mio.

Isn't Baja a GREAT place... a time machine, and these maps are windows to the past!

Very cool to see. In the northern-most map, a place name I haven't heard for a while: Tres Pozos. Many years ago, I bought Pemex there from a gravity-fed gas pump. And mystery-meat tacos which were excellent.

Original 1930's Baja Map


Hello,

I was doing some research for an older friend of mine on some of his collectables and came across this site. I have what I believe to be an original 1930 Lower California map. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I found a reference to it in a university library as to being "RARE". Also looking to establish value if possible. Thank you in advance. I hope this kind of inquiry does not violate the terms of this site.

Tim

Hi Tim,
I bought one at the Scripp's Aquarium gift store in La Jolla many years ago... so many copies have been printed of it for sale... so, I don't think it has a lot of special economic value. The one in your photo appears to have been marked on with a highlight pen as well?
It is a cool map as it seems to be factual, and so full of data (ranches, mines, etc.) considering how old it is. So to Baja history buffs, it is very valuable. I laminated mine to preserve it.
David
