About this map

Snake River geography dominates this mid-1960s study, where the waters of Milner Lake flow past a series of named landforms including Custer Island, Hog Island, and Goat Island. The city of Burley serves as the regional hub, showing a detailed street grid concentrated along Main Street and Overland Ave. The area’s civic infrastructure is well-documented, featuring the Cassia Memorial Hospital, the Armory, and several educational sites like Dworshak Sch and Southwest Sch.

Transport and commerce are anchored by the Union Pacific railroad, which links the settlements of Paul, Heyburn, and Ruby. Further west, Starrhs Ferry marks a historic crossing point on the river. The landscape is heavily shaped by irrigation and utility, evidenced by the numerous canals and the Grange Hall north of the river, reflecting the agricultural character of Minidoka and Cassia counties during this era.
