History of Mission Creek

Prospectors' name reported in 1896 by Spurr (1898, pl. 48), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); so called because a "small temporary mission" was located at the stream's mouth. Its Indian name was recorded by Lieutenant Schwatka (1885, map 7), USA, as "Tototlindu" and in his text "Tatotlinda."
