Interesting, and disappointing (Bud Bernhard maps). What showed up on my digital Canon Camera screen is not quite what the camera actually captured,
and I also may have made a mistake (but of course very unlikely). It is very hard to see what is on the camera screen in bright light situations. I
will think about this and see if I can come up with more excuses!!

The wonderful thing is that you preserved these maps from 1962-63!!! Heck, if it was in Delta (Animal) House, it would have gone up in flames!!!
Here is the canyon notes and map, enhanced:

Baja. I believe I have a copy of the Map referred to by Geoff, and other's above. I also have a copy of the "Dec. 12,1963" freehand-map prepared by
Bud Bernhard at the request of Al Schmitz of the Sierra Club dealing with that portion of the San Pedro Martir plateau and west-facing foot hills just
west of Picacho del Diablo and east of Melings Ranch. It also deals with the some of the canyons and their names on the eastern slope of the San
Pedro Martir just south of Picacho del Diablo and north of Matomi Canyon. |
Thank you Barry!!!

Back to Canyon identification -- I am not sure Bud's map has enough precision provide any new insights, but what it shows does seem to approximately
agree with what we have so far:

On the right edge of the other map (1963 Sierra San Pedro Mártir) are many canyon notes or names.

I see noted by La Grulla stream is "big trout' where it goes to San Antonio. And above that is La Zanja denoted with "small trout."

Yes, Harald... Stay tuned. Barry A needs to get us some more photos of it to fill in. Then, geoffff can make an enhanced image of it, too.

we have all those wonderful new tools
high quality and everything
if only the nerds creating them could make them easier to operate
much easier
if you have app A, it wont talk to app B. But it works with C - only C can't be exported.
It is a big effing mess.
spent the better part of an hour today to install a beta navigation app on my iPhone
only a video conference with the app creators made it possible in the end
it was not smooth
it was not satisfying
to smooth things over, they told me I have to do this only once
then everything would work fine
right
just wait for the next update.

Baja Bucko (Teddi) remembers Bud Bernhard:
Baja Bucko posted this on my Facebook page where I also shared Bud's photo. She said I could share it here, too:
My first San Pedro Martir backpack trip back in 1973 was following Bud for Two weeks-just a hippie chick and Bud preparing for a Sierra
Club pack trip. I drove down w him from PB in his old International Harvester truck and on the way into San Telmo he let me drive. Of course I did not
know how to drive and so he got me started and accused me of actually purposely aiming for the deep potholes. It was an incredible experience and
changed my life.
He’d pack along cans of slim fast -type drinks for food and all over that range these cans of Bud’s are buried. I had no idea who he was when he
picked me up and by the end of the entire adventure we called him the Batman of Baja! When the Sierra Club folks came a few days later for their trip,
I was privileged to meet the late great Louise Werner of desert explorer fame. She and Bud were old old friends. She was 75 years old and always
hiking at the front of the group. What an inspiration.
At the end of that adventure Bud then was part of the group to get the San Diego Dj up Picacho and I spent the nights on Blue Bottle. Every year after
when I was in San Diego shy old Bud and I would meet for dinner and he’d always remind me to be safe as I was always headed south solo. He was a
gentle soul and yes, famous on Coronado for his masonry work. He was Bertie Meling’s adopted son. And the stories he told of rescues and
explorations on that mountain range.
It was sad at the end, dying alone and losing everything. He was A very private man and I will always have him in my heart.

Like David said, we are still waiting for some higher-resolution images -- but the east half of the map -- with the canyons highlighted -- is mostly
complete.
Here is a teaser crop of the Bud's 1963 map, with those canyons. Click to enlarge:
19631212--Bud-Bernhard-Map--Sierra-San-Petdro-Martir--Canyons-on-East-Side-of-Map--Crop.jpg
I'll post the full map without any highlighting when it's done!

What we do see is a different version of Esperanza with two forked canyon different than what is depicted on all the versions from INEGI.
And INEGI shows other canyons north from INEGI Esperanza that do have a two-fork configuration. I wonder if Bud hiked Esperanza in order to make his
map. Or is there a still older source he used?
And
Based on my knowledge of the old road heading diagonal to the north to Hwy 3 it appears that Bud's Esperanza is one of the large north canyons with
two forks and not the one south by Diablo canyon that we all call Esperanza.
