Photograph of map of altar stations from Mission San Gabriel, California, 1899. Bounded by the following regions: Colina de Montañas del Norte (top), Poyarena (bottom), Los Angeles (left), San Joaquin de Jose Sepulveda[?] (right). Lengthy inscription in Spanish at the bottom of the map.; "By means of a reading glass I was able to decipher the Spanish inscription at the bottom of the print. The original map seems to have been drawn by a priest at San Gabriel in connection with an arrangement under consideration for sharing the territory east of San Gabriel with another priest named Padre Amable. This arrangement must belong to a period much later than mission days -- probably late in the 40's or early in the 50's. Some of the settlers whose names appear on the map did not receive their grants from the Mexican Government until later than 1842. All I know about Padre Amable is that he was in charge of the parish at the old Mexican settlement at Agua Mansa between 1852 and 1855. It was under him that the Agua Mansa church was built. This was the church, the ruins of which were sketched by Henry Chapman Ford." -- G.W. Beattie
