1958 Map of Caldwell

About this map

The Boise River valley south of Middleton serves as the focal point for this mid-century look at Canyon County. The urban center of Caldwell is depicted in detail, showing its expansion across Indian Creek and the concentration of civic life around the Courthouse, City Hall, and the campus of the College of Idaho. A complex network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Farmers Cooperative Canal, Phyllis Canal, and numerous drains like the Dixie Drain, illustrates the intensive agricultural transformation of the surrounding plains.
