California Old Maps

Presention of California as an island is believed to have started with a Carmelite Friar, Father Antonio Ascension.He was misled by reports of several Spanish navigators in 1592 and 1602,one of whom reported a great opening in the west coast and the other reported a vast inland sea north of Cape Medocin.

The opinion that California was an island became popular with the map makers in England.The History is on this Map in more Detail.
