About this map

The Snake River plain meets the rising peaks of the Blackfoot Mountains in this early 20th-century topographic record. Centered on the growing agricultural settlement of Ammon, the map traces the intricate water management systems essential to the region's development, including the Hillside Canal and Union Canal. The landscape transitions from the flatlands served by the Pacific railroad to the complex drainage of the mountains, dominated by Mt Taylor (Blackfoot Pk).

Local rural life is well-documented through a network of remote schools such as Pleasant View School and Rock Creek School. Small outposts like Ozone, Bone, and Wolverine serve as markers in the rugged terrain, while a Fish Hatchery near Willow Creek points to the early industrialization of the area's natural resources. The inclusion of the Boise Base Line and the Bonneville and Bingham county line provides a clear view of the administrative and surveying framework of the era.
