1957 Map of Blaine

About this map

Camas Prairie provides the backdrop for this mid-century survey of south-central Idaho, where the Union Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the agricultural heart of Macon Flat. The map reveals a landscape defined by water management and grazing, with Kelly Reservoir and the Macon Sheep Bridge serving as vital infrastructure for the local economy. Small rural hubs such as Blaine and Macon anchor the region, supported by a network of educational landmarks including Springdale School and Manard Sch. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into the Sawtooth National Forest and Soldier Mountain, where the Princess Blue Ribbon Mine stands as a lone mark of industrial extraction. This transition from the flatlands to the Bennett Hills in the south illustrates the varied geography of Blaine and Camas counties during the post-war era.
