A large-scale rotation curve of the Milky Way Galaxy is reconstructed, which covers the area from Galactic Center to Local Group, or from galacto-centric radius R∼ 0 kpc to ∼ 1 Mpc. The scale radii and masses of the galactic bulge, exponential disk and dark halo are determined by least squares fitting to the rotation curve. The bulge+disk system is shown to have a total mass of only Mb+Md ≃3.3×10M⊙. The Navaro-Frenk-White (NFW) density profile for dark halo, ρ = ρ0/([R/h)(1+(R/h))] with h and ρ0 being the scale radius and scale density, respectively, is applied, and the least squares fit yields h = 15.3±1.1 kpc and ρ0 = (7.18±0.90)×10M⊙ pc−3. The local value of the dark matter density near the Sun at R0 = 8 kpc is estimated to be ρ0 = (1.08± 0.17)× 10M⊙ pc−3 = 0.410± 0.066 GeV cm −3. The dark matter mass inside the solar circle is Mh(R≤ 8 kpc)∼ 3.9×10M⊙. The total mass of the entire dark halo inside the supposed boundary of the Galaxy at R∼ 385 kpc, a half distance to M31, is Mh ∼ 1.04×10M⊙. This leads to an upper value of the baryon to dark matter ratio of (Mb + Md)/Mh ∼3.1%. This value is much smaller than the cosmic mean of 19%(=4.6%/24%), implying that the rest 16% (∼ 1.7×10M⊙) baryons are missing or invisible in our Galaxy.
