About this map

The historical landscape of Mission Viejo or La Paz is defined by its deep canyon systems and early California heritage sites. During the late 1960s and mid-1970s, this area remained largely dominated by open terrain and cattle ranching identifiers like the Median Rancho SM and Point Rancho SM. Of particular interest to local historians are the designated locations of San Francisco Solano (Site) and Mission Vieja (Site), which point toward the region's colonial and mission-era foundations. Water sources like San Juan Creek, Arroyo Trabuco, and the thermal Hot Spring at San Juan Hot Springs dictated the placement of early settlements and stations. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the Cleveland National Forest, where steep drainages such as Bell Canyon and Crow Canyon descend toward the coastal plains.
