1823 MAP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA
While going through old emails today, I came across one from 'academicanachist' in which he sent me this 1823 map of Spanish Baja California... First,
the entire map that Robert sent me (from the Library of Congress)... then closer views (4 sections). If anyone needs a super close up, just let me
know where.
Of interest to the discussion on the Visita of Magdalena, near Mulege... it is shown on this map!

Place names stay the same for hundreds of years!
San Roque y Asuncion are there Shari!
Cabo Pulmo and Punta Arenas on East Cape, too...

In 1823... map author unknown.
Guerrero Negro town didn't exist before 1957... and was first called Salina Vizcaino. The lagoon was Black Warrior (Guerrero Negro) named after a
whaler that went aground there in the 1800's.

Great of you to put it together, Sharks!
And, David, thanks for the old map. Interesting how Baja was perceived 185 years ago.
