DEL MONTE MISSION:

The mission of San Joaquin del Monte (Saint Joachim of the mount) wich corresponded to the village of Reynosa, supported a large group of Pinto and Tejon Indians and for long periods of time, 275 comecrudo Indians.

The mission had no irrigation nor was water easily procured, due to the deep and swiftly-moving water of the Rio Grande del Norte, wich flowed nearby.
But the lowlands yielded abundant corn and grain crops. In the uninhabited area between the coast and the Rio Grande lived more than 200 scattered but accessible Indians and some 800 buzal, Indians who had never had contact with the Spaniards.
