The exact border between the Orders' territories in the Californias is established in 1773 by Francisco Palóu on a line close to the present United States-Mexico border.
It ends at the Pacific coast in the area of Playas de Rosarito, about twenty-five kilometers south of the current international border. (The first border is at Punta El Descanso, today occupied by the Centro Histórico y Cultural Calafia; it will be moved in 1778 to the Rosarito Creek.)
Direction of the Franciscan Alta California missions had fallen first to Junípero Serra; after his departure in 1773, it falls to Palóu.
