The first map looks like it is dated 1646

No, the map to Tayopa is almost 90% correct, yet it remained hidden in spite of hundreds of searchers, many of whom may have used versions of the map.
In fact I never gave it serious consideration until after I had located Tayopa, since I assumed that if it had any value, it would never have been published in a popular book, also, many of the hundreds that looked for Tayopa would probably have used it, and since they didn't find Tayopa, ---..
The same can easily be applied to any Superstition maps.
As for the Jesuits, remember they were famous for using upside down, mirror images. While they probably were not involved, this trick may have been adopted by another.

May I ask why you are saying the 1603 date is fake? There are sources which state this is the date when the mines of Tayopa were first exploited, but at least one claim the mine complex was actually discovered the year previous (1602) during the expedition of Captain Hurdaide. I would appreciate it if you would care to expound on your statement, thank you in advance,
Apologies to the thread owner for the off-topic post.
