2024 Map of Mission Creek

About this map

The confluence of the Bighorn River and the Yellowstone River creates a distinctive landscape of alluvial flats and coulees within this corner of Montana. In the south, Mission Bottom sits near where Mission Creek and Sorrel Horse Creek drain toward the Bighorn. The map documents an intricate network of irrigation and water management, notably the Victory Ditch and the aptly named Fighting Spring, which flow through the rolling terrain east of the rivers.
