A vintage, historical map of the Spanish Missions of California. This beautifully detailed map from the public domain is by Claude G.Putnam, published in 1949 by William L. Newman of Glendale, California. The map shows the positions of the Missions along the Pacific Coast and a text insert tells the story of Miguel Jose Serra, a Franciscan Missionary founder of many of the missions noted. A series of illustrations depicts some of the most well known missions. This reproduction map has been restored, color corrected and has a little added texture.
