1971 Map of Dietrich

About this map

The Little Wood River and an intricate network of irrigation systems define the high desert landscape of Dietrich in this 1971 survey. The town center is characterized by its High Sch and proximity to the Main Canal, reflecting the region's total reliance on water engineering for agricultural viability. To the north, the volcanic history of the Snake River Plain is evident in the expanse of Lava, where a prominent Lava Crack and the volcanic cone of Crater Butte rise above the surrounding terrain. This map records a mid-century period of land use where an Old Railroad Grade and a Landing Strip contrast with the older natural features. The presence of specialized sites like Feedlots and a Gravel Pit underscores the local economy's focus on livestock and infrastructure maintenance during the early 1970s.
