Given that Mission San Diego was not established until 1769, the
interpretation of the date on the map as the year of construction or
publication is not likely correct.

In addition to the above, which clearly indicates a date after 1688, the
map shows California as peninsular, very likely indicating a date after
Father Kino's work in the early 18th century (1705 as the date of the
printed map based on earlier manuscript drawings). An image of that 1705
map can be seen here (map no. 3 on that page):
