About this map

Marsh Valley serves as the central corridor for transport and settlement in this late 1960s Idaho landscape. The Union Pacific railroad runs parallel to the modern highway through the town of Arimo, which serves as a local hub with its Substation and proximity to the Marsh Valley High Sch. The western portion of the map transitions into higher ground, where the historic Robin Old Indian Treaty Road and an Old Railroad Grade trace older movement patterns across the terrain near the settlement of Robin.

Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Marsh Center (Site) and the nearby Marsh Center Cem. Water management is a defining characteristic of the valley floor, evidenced by the Portneuf River, Peck Marsh, and various agricultural infrastructure like the Canal and a Flume near Virginia Road. The map also details numerous springs, including Indian Springs and Pilot Spring Creek, which supported the early ranching and farming operations in this part of Bannock County.
