Item Details
Description
  • Title: California per P. Ferdinandum
  • Subject: Confirming California Is Not an Island California
  • Maker: F. Consag and J. Baegert
  • Date: 1773, Mannheim
  • Size: 9.25 x 7 inches

    Map of Baja California and northern Mexico based on the explorations of the Jesuit Ferdinand Consag that confirmed Father Kino's earlier reports that strongly suggested that California is not an island. The map appeared in Jacob Baegert's Observations in Lower California, in which he reports: "After Father Ferdinand Konschak (Consag), a Jesuit from Hungary, investigated and explored the entire east coast of California as far as the Colorado River (which he followed upstream for several hours in 1746), it can no longer be doubted that California is a peninsula, bounded by the sea on three sides only, rather than completely surrounded as was once believed." Kino's journeys of 1684-5 had been undertaken by land and were not considered to be definitive proof that California was not an island. The map shows the Jesuit missions of Baja California and Northern Mexico as well as the path of his own journey to California from Mexico in 1751; it also includes the route of his departure upon the expulsion of the Jesuits from California in 1768. Engraved with a cartouche decorated with craggy rocks, sparse vegetation, a palm tree, and an alligator.
