1953 Map of Cloverdale

About this map

Ridenbaugh Canal and the Settlers Canal define the irrigation-heavy landscape of this region west of Boise, where the desert gives way to a network of water-delivery systems. The map illustrates the shift from rural homesteads to early suburban sprawl, with several local schools like Locust Grove Sch and Maple Grove Sch (Aban'd) serving the scattered population. Industrial and community hubs appear at Boise Junction and Perkins, while the Union Pacific rail line cuts across the northern landscape near Beatty. A distinctive rural culture is evident at the Tenmile Rodeo Grounds and the Tenmile Community Ch located along Tenmile Creek. To the south, the terrain becomes more open near the Hubbard Reservoir, where the Mason Creek Feeder and various laterals such as the Wood Lateral manage the flow of water across the Treasure Valley floor.
