1787 Map of the missions from Palou's book (with labels)


In 1787, Diego Troncoso of Mexico drew a map of the Californias that named all the missions as they were in 1786 (prior to the founded of San Miguel in 1787, Santo Tomás in 1791, San Pedro Mártir in 1794, and Santa Catalina in 1797). Also this was prior to the abandoning of the missions of Guadalupe and Santiago (both in 1795).

It took me some careful studying to make out the handwritten names!
