1968 Map of Downey West

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad and the Portneuf Marsh Valley Canal define the eastern valley floor near Downey, providing a glimpse into the agricultural and transportation infrastructure of southern Idaho in the late 1960s. The landscape is a transition from the level basin of Marsh Creek to the rising elevations of the Caribou National Forest in the southwest. Small settlements like Virginia and Shrives are connected by a network of local routes including Richards Road and Tillotson Road.
