Couple of Old Baja maps
Found these maps today and thought I would post them.
David you may already be aware of these sources, perhaps you can give me some feedback on the online map (1858).
The first is a map of "Mision de Santa Catarina / levantado", it is not online and the second map is online and gives a little about the following
misions in 1858, my Spanish is most likely not accurate but is presented as a general gist of what the map has on it.
First map:
Mision de Santa Catarina / levantado

Interesting stuff
I have not seen this site before... I didn't see a link to the first map, but looks like there's a bunch of stuff out there on the Internet to keep us
armchair exploring when we are stuck up north! Thanks DD!

collection and you can look at the maps without having to buy them. Hope you like the site

David,
Apparently what I took for a link, it works on the Univ. site and it shows up as html in my word document, but when I post it here, it doesn't seem
to reconize it.
Perhaps this other info. will allow you to locate it on that same site.
The first time I found this site I think I was on this site for over three days looking at all the maps, so fair warning to anyone who likes maps.
** Here is a link to the UCLA main page for maps: http://library.berkeley.edu/EART/browse.html
Just hit the button for non-Calif maps and use the info I put below. **
The first map was listed under:
"Mision de Santa Catarina / levantado" and also under "Real property -- Mexico -- Baja California (State) -- Maps".
I also found this 1943 intelligence map of Baja, though not accessible online, it should have some interesting info. on it. I have found other old
military maps to have very good detail(s) on them.
