The CA mission system was set up as a series of stops and points throughout the state. Each mission was a day's ride from the other.

The decline of the mission system in California can be attributed to various factors, including disease outbreaks, mistreatment of Native Americans, loss of land, Mexican secularization laws, and the changing political landscape with the arrival of American settlers. These factors ultimately led to the missions losing power and influence, contributing to their decline.
