Main poza at entrance to San Ignacio. 1959. "The first glimpse of San Ignacio after plodding through hundreds of miles of barren desert is one of the really spectacular sights in Baja California. Bleak sunbaked cactus-covered hills suddenly give way to the welcome shade of a huge grove of date palms. Several springs in the arroyo irrigate a fertile valley for a number of miles before the water sinks into the ground."

San Ignacio, 1950

San Ignacio. 1950-1969. "Dominating everything is the massive stone church, finished by the Dominican Padre Gómez in 1786. It is entirely of cut lava rock with walls four feet thick and an arched ceiling."
