USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
Boise and its immediate surroundings are depicted here during a period of significant agricultural and infrastructure development in the late 19th century. The irrigation landscape is particularly prominent, with an intricate network of waterworks including the Farmers Union Canal, Ballentine Canal, and Middleton Canal feeding the fertile lands around Eagle Island. To the north, the terrain rises into the Boise National Forest, marked by landmarks such as Shafer Butte and the early mining camp of Pearl.
