Description
The salt lagoons north of San Quintín Bay. Looking south-west from a small cinder cone. These deposits have been of continuous importance as a source of salt for the aborigines, mission population, navigators, and others. The fields were being worked on a commercial scale at the time this picture was taken (1926). In the distance is the volcanic island, San Martín.
