Mission Camp

Mission Camp is a historic locale, site of a later Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoach station, located about west of Wellton on the south bank of the Gila River, in Yuma [County, Arizona]. It was located miles east of Gila City, Arizona, west of the original Butterfield stage station at Filibusters Camp, and west of Antelope Peak Station, a later station that with Mission Camp Station replaced Filibusters Camp Station.
In 1862, during the American Civil War, the Union Army garrisoned a post at the stage station with List of California [Civil War Union units|California Volunteers]. It was located about east of Yuma.
After stagecoach travel resumed in the late 1860s Mission Camp became a stagecoach station once again until 1879 when the Southern Pacific Railroad came into Arizona through Yuma, making it obsolete.
