Section of a 1708 map by French cartographer Guillaume Delisle (also spelled de L'Isle and Lisle) that shows the locations of five of the Spanish Missions in the La Junta District, including Saint George, La Concepcion, San Christoval, Assumpcion, and San Pablo. Few Indian group names are shown in the vicinity. The Río Conchos is not labeled, but its confluence with the Rio del Norte (Rio Grande) is shown. Map Source: David Rumsey Map Collection. |
