Resources depicting the geographical boundaries of missions operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, designed for convenient at-home production, are valuable tools. These resources, available in digital formats suitable for personal printers, commonly illustrate mission territories, landmarks, and significant locations relevant to missionary service. An example would be a downloadable PDF showing the boundaries of the California Sacramento Mission, which can be printed on standard letter-sized paper.
Access to these geographically-focused visuals facilitates a deeper understanding of specific mission assignments for prospective missionaries and their families. They also serve as valuable educational aids for those interested in learning more about the global reach of the Church and the scope of its missionary efforts. Historically, the availability of such visual aids was limited, requiring physical maps and often cumbersome research. Digital resources offer a more accessible and convenient way to visualize mission territories.
The following discussion will cover different types of these resources, where to find them, and considerations for their effective use, including printing quality and boundary accuracy. We will also examine the broader context of missionary geography and its implications for those preparing to serve.
