looking at the map -when did the name change from Chuenque to Juncalito?


Not a name change, just a neighboring ranch/fishing village. See page 155 of your Lower California Guidebook, 3rd or 4th editions (1962-1970)...
Both Juncalito and Chuenque are listed and detailed in the book, (0.4 mile apart) but the map only has one of them. The Jesuit ruined wall is mentioned at Chuenque... others call it the possible alternate Mission Ligüí location or simply the Puerto Escondido mission wall or as Gerhard says, a Jesuit visiting station.

From Jack Swords:


The well built, mortarless wall is 4 feet tall by 3 feet wide and quite long. It resembles other walls found at mission sites in Baja. Photo c Jack Swords

rock wall


Do any of you know of the history of that long wall that runs all the way to Puerto Escondido?
