1964 Map of Dubois NW

About this map

Dubois serves as a critical agricultural and transportation hub in eastern Idaho as of the mid-1960s. The town is oriented around the Union Pacific railroad corridor, which runs parallel to the ephemeral waters of Beaver Creek. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling U S Sheep Experiment Station, illustrating the region's historical commitment to high-altitude livestock research and rangeland management. Concrete evidence of the local ranching economy is visible in the large Stockyards situated near the tracks, while the local Rodeo Grounds and Cem reflect the social fabric of this rural community. Aviation infrastructure is also present south of the settlement at the Dubois Airport, supported by a Beacon BM 5128 and nearby Gaging Station.
