Photograph of a general view of Mission San Miguel Arcangel, California, from the southeast (south?). An exterior corridor with arches supporting the tile roof is at left and the taller church is at right. Over one of the arches is written "San Miguel Mission". The mission is in a state of very good repair externally. Several small trees grow adjacent to the church. A fence runs around the church building. The land in the foreground appears to have once been cultivated with a crop but is now overgrown.
