1953 Map of Eagle
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Boise River and Little Boise River define this agricultural corridor north of Boise, where a complex network of irrigation projects like the Settlers Canal and Thurman Mill Canal turned the arid valley into productive farmland. The landscape reveals a transition from rural life to suburban expansion, featuring early landmarks such as the Jodin Cem and McMillan Chapel alongside the former sites of the White Cross School and Valley View Sch. The southern edge of the survey captures the fringe of Boise and Garden City, including the Western Idaho Fairgrounds and Bradley Field. Further north, aviation history is represented by the Floating Feather Airport near Dry Creek Valley. The purple revisions reflect the rapid growth around Eagle and Green Meadows in the early 1970s, as new roads and housing began to overtake the historic canals and orchards.
