1960 Map of Mission Creek

About this map

The Yellowstone River and Bighorn River converge near the boundaries of Yellowstone and Big Horn Counties in this 1960 field study. The landscape is defined by the sophisticated irrigation infrastructure of the era, featuring the Waco Canal in the north and the Two Leggins Canal and Victory Ditch to the south. These waterways supported local agricultural efforts like the Steele Ranch and Wolfe Ranch on the fertile ground of Big Bottom and Mission Bottom.
