1958 Map of Buhl

About this map

Agricultural development and civic expansion define the landscape around Buhl in the late 1950s. The town site is densely detailed with municipal landmarks including City Hall, the Idaho National Guard Armory, and the Buhl School campus. On the periphery, social hubs like Lucerne Grange and a Drive-in Theater reflect the era's community life. The reliance on water management is evident in the path of the Low Line Canal and the various unnamed irrigation ditches that crisscross the terrain to support the region's farms. To the south, the smaller settlements of Castleford and Fairview anchor the rural sections of the map, connected by a network of local routes such as Castleford Road. The Pacific Union railroad serves as the primary industrial artery, while the presence of the Buhl Municipal Airport and a Military Reservation rifle range suggest a diverse mix of land use at mid-century.
