1944 Map of Arbon

About this map

Fort Hall Indian Reservation occupies the northern half of this Idaho territory, where the drainage of Moonshine Creek and Bannock Creek shapes the high desert terrain. To the south, the Deep Creek Mountains dominate the western landscape, rising to peaks like Bannock Pk and White Quartz Mtn. The map reveals a remote ranching economy centered around small settlements like Arbon and Pauline, which are supported by local institutions such as Arbon Sch and Armstrong Sch. Early aviation infrastructure is also evident, with an Airway Beacon and a dedicated Landing Field positioned along the valley floor. Numerous family-named homesteads, including Rudeen Ranch and Jensen Ranch, are scattered throughout the draws and flats, marking the private holdings that existed alongside the vast public lands of the Cache N F.
