2017 Map of Mission

About this map

Mission serves as a primary settlement on this Todd County landscape, situated near the headwaters of several drainage systems including W Br Horse Cr. The area is characterized by its tribal and community infrastructure, particularly evident in the concentration of historical burial sites. Researchers focusing on local genealogy will find several distinct locations, such as the Indian Mission Cem to the north and a cluster of denominational sites near the town center, including Zions Lutheran Cem, Saint Thomas Cem, and Trinity Cem. To the east, the community of Antelope marks the transition toward the open plains of the Rosebud region. The layout of the roads and sections reflects the organized land divisions within this part of South Dakota, providing a clear view of the rural and civic development established by the early 21st century.
