1972 Map of Boise South

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The State Capitol and the bustling civic core of Boise dominate the northern landscape of this 1972 survey, showcasing the city’s expansion south toward the high desert. The Union Pacific rail corridor and a complex network of irrigation arteries, including the Ridenbaugh Canal and New York Canal, illustrate the critical infrastructure that transformed this arid valley into a regional hub. Institutional landmarks are prominent, from Boise State College on the riverbank to the imposing State Penitentiary tucked against the foothills near Table Rock.
