Maps

Santa Cruz Mission

We only have seven maps that deal with the Santa Cruz Mission. Two of them (that show the land area and a few building placements) are available as photographs online (see first entry under "URLs"). The others are useful for seeing where the mission stood in relation to the town and where the buildings stood. Everything is from the mid 1800s. We have nothing from the period when the mission was in its heyday. The Clark book has useful information under "Santa Cruz Mission" and "Mission lands of Santa Cruz."
