And I know everyone, there have been many different town spellings throughout Mexico over the last 500 years.

Used to do a few threads on this...
When the government misspells it, then it is really bad!
Santa Rosalillita and Puertecitos often win that one.
Guerrero Negro comes in third.
Santo Tomas, San Vicente, San Quintin, Los Barriles, Malarrimo... it's a big list!

 I won't

The AAA map calls it "Rosalillita". Senterfitt calls it "Rosallilita", reversing the single and double "Ls". It doesn't show up on my CH-22
aeronautical chart.
carpe diem!

Oh, and let's not forget Punta San Francisquito  (Ken, seeing you here reminding
me of that one... one of your favorite places, yes?)

I never noted that spelling either
I guess it is ROSALI and the ITA for "tiny" or "small"
therefore one gets Rosaliita ?? or did the gvt really misspell it ?
I am amazed that I never saw this B4

I didn't notice it either Blanca until DK pointed it out in my sisters trip report. I saw it, took pictures of it and my brain just skipped over the
misspelling. Kind of like one of those dreams where you're reading a really awesome book until you kind of realize you're dreaming so you look closer
and it's total nonsensical rubbish.

INEGI is official authority of geographic names, or so they claim. They spell it "rosaliita"

That is correct... INEGI and other government agencies have it wrong.

It is neither right nor wrong. It is whatever it is, wherever you see it, by whoever made the sign, as read by whom.
