This is a very uncommon map centered on the Gulf of California. It is drawn on the Fernando Consag model, which was updated from Kino's original maps of the region. It extends past the Colorado and shows Baja California, northwest Mexico and what will become the southern portion of Arizona. It presents, in great detail, the Gila River region, the missions and Indian towns of Pimeria Alta and Baja California.
