2012 Map of Mission

About this map

Mission serves as a focal point for settlement and infrastructure on the Rosebud Indian Reservation, shown here as it transitioned into the early 21st century. The map illustrates a concentration of community landmarks, including the Mission Sioux Airport and the Antelope Development Area, highlighting the expansion of the residential and service footprint east of the town center. The landscape is defined by the drainages of Antelope Creek and Little Oak Creek, which feed into local reservoirs like Mission Lake and Antelope Lake. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of religious and burial sites, notably the Indian Mission Cemetery located north of town and both the Saint Thomas Cemetery and Trinity Cemetery situated near the eastern residential clusters. To the northwest, Table Butte provides a distinct topographical landmark overlooking the valley of West Branch Horse Creek.
