You may find it helpful to look at the scale of your map. Compare your findings to the cartographic standards of the time... either the 1700's if you believe the charts to be Jesuit, or 1847 if you consider the Peralta story, or the early 1900's ie. - the Florence map, or something more recent......... Just a suggestion.
Hal---
I have had that in mind. In fact, if the bottom line on the trail maps were to represent the Gila River, then there would be a date indication regarding the drop on the left of it to the Southwesterly direction. It resembles modern maps, but only because of the canal "bypass." It appears that the river itself did not turn Southwesterly, but went Westward and upward. So, if the Trail Maps depicted the canal, then they wouldn't be "old."
And there is still the remarkable similarities of the Trail Maps to the Julia map and it's copy that I posted earlier, what with the X's water sources, and trail shape, and that darned "needle." These two maps would also indicate that the bottom line is as Joe indicated---the Southern end of the Supers, rather than the Gila. Oh, and there's also that Apache Camp marked on the paper map, where the Trail Map has the teepee-looking symbol. Very strange coincidences.
Are the Trail Maps and the Julia map and copy somehow related?

Shucks, everyone in here has known that for several years, including Joe. You ?
As for dangerous predators, or humans, I see that you aren't acquainted with their unpredictable action or reaction, sheesh. bunny wabbits perhaps.
You have such an impossible no of potential reactions for non dangerous ones, that it is useless. Stick to a OUIJI board.

mrs.oroblanco said:Julia made maps, alright - lots and lots of different maps. She obviously didn't have the exact directions, because, if she'd had it right, she'd have had the LDM.
That one map I saw was very suspicious - it had thread coming out of the needle ...... That's a joke, BB, not a trueism, just a joke.
But, Julia did make several maps. She made it a habit to sell a "map" to anyone who had a buck or two.

cactusjumper said:For me, the "Needle" points more towards a fraud than authenticity. Someone took some of the things on Julia's map and used them on the Stone Maps. Timelines become an issue here.
cactusjumper said:EE,
Hard to make any kind of logical comments using "Julia's Map". First, there are no known (original) maps from Julia Thomas in existence......as far as I know. Apaches did not stay in one place, so
having one of their camps on a map is somewhat useless.
Now that is just my opinion, based on the facts that are available and that I have seen. If you can figure out something using "Julia's Map", you're up there in the rarefied air of bb's world.....very thin.

Julia first attempted to enter the mountains, with Rhiney, at Hog Canyon. Just one canyon west of Hieroglyphic Canyon.

We had the LAfitness shooting and the Bahmhammers shooting rampage. The outing next month concerns me. I will be attending and will keep a eye on things. We will all have a good time without incident.
The problem with the LDM is that it attracts people with issues. As we have all seen.
