After some inquiry, I've learned that "Banco de Nivel" is the Spanish term for a benchmark. Thus the abbreviation "BN".

Edit: BTW, while we're here, the (EGV) is Estación Geodésica Vertical.


Thank you for the clarity! Sorry for my guessing :)

That's directly across the wash from where I camped when I hiked it earlier this year. It was a bit of a guessing game until the Camino Real started climbing into the mountains then the trail was obvious.

You are doing some very cool leg work on all of this!

Thanks, yes fun to hike where the padres and soldiers of Spain did!

Harald, if I find the original print, I will rescan at high resolution. Please give me a few days to find it, as we are having our family Thanksgiving this weekend to avoid crowds!

Noticed that the Cuesta at Aguaje de San Juan is named in Itinereros y Dereteros. Page 429.

Just in case you didn't have a name for that one yet.
