Baja, MX 1922 Shaded Relief Map

In 1922, Baja California was still a single federal territory stretching the length of the peninsula — it wouldn't split into the separate territories of Baja California Norte and Baja California Sur until 1931, and neither achieved full Mexican statehood until decades later, in 1952 and 1974 respectively. This map dates to the early years of post-revolutionary Mexico, just two years after the armed phase of the Mexican Revolution came to a close in 1920.

We georeferenced the original 1922 survey and applied modern digital elevation data to add true shaded relief to the Baja peninsula's mountainous spine and coastline. The shading is printed flat on the paper — not raised or textured — so it frames and hangs like any fine art print.

Available with or without our signature cloud overlay for a more atmospheric effect, and in your choice of black frame, walnut frame, or unframed.

Note on legibility: text on the original map is small and can be difficult to read given the map's age. In areas where the relief shading is darkest, the underlying labels are not legible. We recommend the largest available size for the best detail.
