2017 Map of Mission

About this map

The confluence of the Shields River and the Yellowstone River anchors this Park County landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of early irrigation systems and historic thoroughfares. The presence of the Poor Farm Cem and Bruffey Cem offers specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families or researching the county’s social history. Evidence of the region’s agricultural and transit infrastructure is visible through numerous water works such as the Middle-Windsor Ditch, Big Mission Ditch, and Palmer Ditch, alongside the small settlement of Mission. The road network provides additional historical context, featuring evocative names like Convict Grade Rd and Horse Thief Trl, while the Mission Field landing strip suggests the area’s more modern aviation links.
