1955 Map of Baldy Knoll

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Baldy Knoll rises above a complex landscape where the volcanic history of Lava flows meets a highly engineered agricultural frontier. This 1950s survey documents a critical intersection of natural terrain and human reclamation, defined by the extensive irrigation network feeding the area near Moreland. Water management is the primary driver of development here, visible in the Aberdeen Canal, Springfield Canal, and the Peoples Ditch, which navigate the elevation changes alongside a siphon and the Highline. To the east, the volcanic fields are marked by Lemhi Ridge and the Lemhi Pass, showing the stark transition from the fertile irrigated lands to the desolate basaltic reaches. The map also records the Boise Base Line, providing an essential reference point for the grid of section lines that organized the settlement of Bingham County.
