It's possible that the old Le Mer Rouge sits under parts of Interstate 5 that stretches from Canada to Mexico.

You might think this is much to thin of a piece of land, you can see from google maps that the land used to stretch out further making a deeper west coast. This can be proven by looking at slide 4, Google maps shows off shore lands and one heart shaped cape or inlet that can dually be seen on 16th century cartography. How could people from 100s of years ago map something under the ocean today?

They should really call the island of California the island of Oregon and California because for a time Oregon was part of this land mass. (Slide 5) To the left is a map of the island of California from antiquity, to the right is an image from my personal atlas. You can find all the same names, the map is accurate and after reviewing with NOAA officer/ cartographer we concluded that the longitudinal coordinates coincided.

The mountain ranges that could have contained this temporary sea can easily be considered (slide 6)

The whole notion that maps from antiquity were notoriously inaccurate can be easily disproven. I offer you information that was gathered in an honest way
