About this map

Arimo serves as a central hub in the heart of Marsh Valley, where the Union Pacific railroad and a network of arterial roads like Arimo Road and Raymond Road intersect. This late-1960s landscape is defined by its water management and agricultural infrastructure, featuring numerous Gravel Pits, a large siphon, and a flume near the Portneuf River. The presence of the Marsh Valley High Sch and the electrical Substation near the town center reflects the mid-century development of this rural Idaho corridor.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the foundations of the area through the Marsh Center (Site) and the Marsh Center Cem located along Virginia Road. The map preserves the exact alignment of historical travel routes, including the Old Indian Treaty Road and Pilot Spring Road, which navigate the terrain between the Marsh Creek bottomlands and the surrounding foothills. Smaller settlements and landmarks like Robin and Arka further illustrate the sparse but deliberate distribution of homesteads and grazing lands in Bannock County.
