About this map

Drummond and the small agricultural community of France anchor the high plains of Eastern Idaho in this mid-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp incision of the Teton River and its major tributaries, including Bitch Creek and Badger Creek, which cut deep canyons through the undulating wheat country. This intersection of topography and utility is visible at the Felt Dam and its associated Powerhouse and Penstocks, where the river's descent is harnessed for energy.

Local history is preserved at the Camp Henry Historic Site near Henry Meadow, while the region's agricultural dependence is evidenced by multiple Grain Elevators and Storage Bins scattered across the rail and road network. To the south, Clementsville sits near a Boat Landing Strip, marking another point of settlement above the river breaks. The map captures a moment of established rural life, including the quiet Farnum Cem located near the Fremont and Teton county line.
