1952 Map of Mission

About this map

The Shields River and Yellowstone River converge in this ranching landscape of Park County, where the mid-century economy is written in the names of extensive family holdings. The transition from the Northern Pacific to the Burlington Northern railroad era is visible across the central valley, alongside an intricate network of irrigation channels like the Upper Ditch and Lower Windsor Ditch. This map serves as a detailed record of pioneer homesteads and legacy operations, including the Windsor Headquarters Ranch and the O Bar A Ranch.
