Talk:Baja California Sur

My suggestions for currently-unnamed graticules:

• 27,-115: Isla Natividad, Mexico
• 27,-114: Guerrero Negro, Mexico
• 27,-113: Villa Alberto Andrés Alvarado Arámburo, Mexico
  (different maps give different spellings, but this giant mess is the official name)
• 26,-114: Punta Los Lobos, Mexico
  (very little land in this graticule, this appears to be the only named feature)
• 26,-113: Estero de la Bocana, Mexico
• 25,-112: Puerto Adolfo López Mateos, Mexico
• 24,-112: Puerto San Carlos, Mexico
  (this is the official name, but more likely San Carlos, Baja California Sur, Mexico)
• 24,-111: Villa Morelos, Mexico
• 24,-109: El Sargento, Mexico
• 22,-110: Rolling Hills Estates, Mexico
  (approximately the only thing of note in this barely-land graticule)

26,-112 deserves special mention. Per 2020 census data, the largest settlement is Las Barrancas, pop 539, but as it is located at the very edge of the graticule, I would have given the name to San Juanico, pop 512. I'm open to other suggestions, though.

25,-110 is tricky; the two largest settlements, in order, appear to be Punta Alta, pop 31, and Ensenada de Cortés, pop 30, both near the southern edge (Punta Alta is closer), in the La Paz municipality.
I'd give it to Punta Alta, but only because Ensenada de Cortés isn't even on Google Maps (neither of the two is on OSM; topo maps show Dolores, which isn't anywhere in census data).

San Carlos, Mexico is also partly in BCS (admittedly the place name isn't), so the state name doesn't disambiguate at the graticule level. The others I'll have to check out later, but overall looks good to me. Names aren't my strong suit so for the most part I leave it to those for whom it is, and/or locals.

I guess we can call that one "San Carlos Nuevo Guaymas, Mexico" and/or "San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico"? I mostly just went through the census data (first on CityPopulation, then on the actual census site, which conveniently provided a list with latitude and longitude), and chose whatever looked the largest. I wouldn't necessarily call them my strong suit either, but maybe they are and I didn't notice. January First-of-May (talk) 19:07, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
