1769 - Plano De La Costa Del Sur Corregido Hasta La Canal De Santa Barbara

Pre-1824 Maps

Under orders from Don Jose de Gálvez, between 1768 and 1770, Miguel Constanzó explored the coastline of the California (Baja) Peninsula and Alta California with a two-fold purpose: 1) to correct existing navigational charts, and 2) to investigate and develop plans for the ports of San Diego and Monterey. He was also directed, if possible, to investigate the San Francisco Bay region and develop plans for that area too. His explorations resulted in four maps that included a plan focused on the coastal region around the Channel of Santa Bárbara. The map roughly depicts the coastline from San Blas, New …

1797 C. - Mar Grande De San. Blas

Pre-1824 Maps

This undated, hand-drawn map reflects the coastline beginning in the northern portion of the Baja Peninsula going as far north as Puerto de la Bodega. It shows the approximate location of the 18 missions established in Alta California by 1797.

1720 - La Californie Ou Nouvelle Caroline : Teatro De Los Trabajos, Apostolicos De La Compa. E Jesus En La America Septe.

Pre-1824 Maps

The 1720 map by Nicolas de Fer contains important information about Spanish missions in Mexico, Native American villages and western river systems. It shows the West Coast of Mexico, interior of the Southwest, Baja California and the island of California. The map was copied from the manuscript 1696 map by Father Eusebio Kino, who traveled throughout the Southwest for over a decade. Although Father Kino concluded by 1701 that California was connected to the mainland, the myth was perpetuated in the present map and was essentially an enlarged edition of De Fer's smaller 1700 map. It is decorated with indigenous …
