Populations
The missionaries were able to develop the missions with native labor. However, as you point out, the natives had a bad habit of dying off very
quickly. Actually, the building complex at San Pedro Martir was fairly well developed, based upon Meigs description of the mission site in 1926.

SPM
I am in California for several days to attend a funeral. When I get back to Texas, I will dig out what information there is on building construction
at SPM. The missionaries were required to prepare annual reports on the missions, and they included details on building construction. There are
recrods from about 1794-1801.

SPM elevation track
And finally here is the elevation track.
The elevations are correct, but The scale on the bottom should be in Miles, as the total miles is around 17, according to my GPS.

maps
The white is just an elevation change.
I set it up so the elevation grades from tan-green-white.
The approx values are:
tan less than 2,500'
green 2,500'-7,500'
white 7,500'-9,500'
red 9,500'+
The map was grenerated using digital elevation models (DEM) from a NASA space shuttle flight in 1999 (accuracy is around 90 meters per pixel).

This forum is much richer, now!
Thanks to new Nomads like Mexitron and Baja Taco! These maps and photos are just wonderful! Graham Mackintosh will really enjoy them... I will send
him the link tonight!
FYI: We now have two Baja Tacos... the first is 'bajataco' (Chris of Arizona). His web site is http://www.bajataco.com taco is short for Tacoma (Toyota truck). Brooks is 'Baja Taco' (the map man)!
