It can be rather confusing!

Many towns and cities on the Eastern Seaboard are named after English and French towns and cities.

Most towns and cities on the Western Seaboard are named after Mexican and Spanish towns and cities!

In most of my California Sim Flights I constantly have to remind myself that I am not in Mexico!

Many thanks for your Maps, Chris... :D ...

Just what I need for my Flight Sim explorations.... :clap: ...!

Mexicans!....Probably accounts for the fact that there's not much change today from the old, violent, Wild West days, from my daily Western USA news!

I've saved them in my Maps Folder.....(The Maps...not the Mexicans!).

One of my other favourite maps showing immigration into North America...>>>

Mostly staying at 500 feet+ in "Mexican" California...for safety!... :lol: ...!
