About this map

St Ignatius serves as the focal point of this Mission Valley landscape, where the intersection of water management and topography is clearly visible. The map details an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure including the Mission C Canal and the F Mission Canal, which divert water from the mountain-fed Mission Cr to support the surrounding agricultural lands. The terrain transitions from the relatively level valley floor near the St Ignatius Airport to the rising elevations of the Mission Range in the east, where the Mission Reservoir sits at the base of steep canyon walls.

For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are documented within a small radius of the town center, including the Saint Ignatius Old Catholic Cem, the Saint Ignatius Catholic Cem, and the Pleasant View Cem. These sites, along with a grid of named roads like Old Hwy 93 and St Marys Lake Rd, provide essential landmarks for tracing family homesteads and the early development of this Lake County community.
