About this map

Mountain Home Air Force Base dominates the western half of this 1956 Idaho survey, reflecting the Cold War era of military expansion in the high desert. The base layout is shown in significant detail, featuring a dedicated street grid including Main Ave and Cedar Ave, alongside specialized facilities like a Golf Course, Radio Beacons, and a Tank. To the north, the Mountain Home Air Force Base Gunnery Range extends across the landscape, connected to logistical networks by the Military Railroad. Evidence of the region's agricultural and industrial infrastructure is visible through the Old Lamberton Canal in the northeast and a long Pipeline cutting through the southern sections. This map documents a specialized military landscape where desert topography meets the rigid organization of mid-century aerial defense.
