San Ildefonso’s location was speculated by Bolton from spanish records in Mexico when he composed this map. Its location was found I believe about 30 years later. It is on the high ground on that road heading south. Not far from the roadway intersections.

They were all within the area of about 2-3 Spanish leagues. (1 spanish league = 2.63 miles).

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
