The re-mapping of a Baja mission site, Santa Catalina


This just got published, by Lee Panich who worked at Mission Santa Catalina, the last Spanish mission in Baja California. Compare the 2006 map by Lee to the hand drawn 1935 map by Peveril Meigs.

For more on Santa Catalina mission, including a photo from Lee of his dig to the foundation stones there, see my Discover Baja article: http://www.discoverbaja.com/2014/08/25/spanish-missions-cali...
