WHAT WAS SOME OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES IN THE SAN GABRIEL MISSION?

The San Gabriel Mission, established in 1771, had access to several Natural Resources, including fertile land for agriculture, which allowed for the cultivation of crops like wheat, grapes, and various fruits. The nearby San Gabriel River provided water for irrigation and daily needs. Additionally, the surrounding mountains offered timber for construction and fuel, while the local wildlife contributed to food sources for the mission's inhabitants.
