From Randy Olson (no known relation), a map of solar time versus clock time:
That map, and the maps it was derived from (including the original source, the CIA) show Cedros Island as being UTC-7 (as if it were in Baja Sur, not Baja). The border between Baja and Baja Sur is on the 28th parallel, which lies south of Cedros Island. Baja is in the Pacific Time zone, UTC-8. Baja Sur is in the Mountain time zone, UTC-7. I find multiple references confirming that Cedros Island is part of Baja, thus UTC-8. I find no references making any allusion to the official or unofficial observed time on the island to be other than UTC-8. This seems to be a significant error, not I presume the type the CIA normally makes... so I am wondering if I've missed something. Thoughts? Regards, Steve Jones, St. Louis, MO Emacs!
