MISSIONS over the years 1700 to 1840 on maps

Seeing the build up, then decline of missions on the peninsula is easy with the use of maps showing the mission locations.

I made a location map for every 20 years starting in 1700 and ending in 1840, the last year for the remaining missions except Santo Tomas (1849).

In the captions, I will list missions that moved or were removed during the 20 year periods.
