1958 Map of Caldwell

About this map

Caldwell serves as a bustling hub of agricultural and educational activity in this mid-century survey, centered on the College of Idaho and the Union Pacific Railroad. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the Treasure Valley, including the Phyllis Canal, Farmers Cooperative Canal, and Eureka Canal. These waterways underscore the area's transition from the arid sagebrush plains to a productive farming district. North of the city, the Boise River meanders toward Notus, flanked by features like Canyon Hill and the Caldwell Labor Camp. Educational landmarks are prominent, from the centralized High School and Washington School to the outlying Enrose School and Canyon School, reflecting a well-distributed rural community. The 1971 photorevisions highlight the expansion of Caldwell toward the Caldwell Municipal Airport and along major corridors like Cleveland Boulevard.
