1951 Map of Clover

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad cuts through the heart of this agricultural landscape in the early 1950s, connecting the settlement of Buhl to eastern markets. This area of Twin Falls County reveals a highly managed water system essential for High Desert farming, dominated by the High Line Canal and Low Line Canal which navigate the contours of the terrain. The map is particularly rich for local genealogy, capturing a dense network of rural school districts including Washington Sch, Syringa Sch, and Poplar Hill School. The presence of the Cedar Draw Sch (Aban'd) and Superior Sch (Aban'd) suggests shifting populations and the consolidation of rural education during this era. Land drainage and irrigation are further detailed through several Seepage Tunnels and the winding course of Cedar Draw.
