1953 Map of Eagle

About this map

The Boise River splits into distinct channels as it moves westward, creating the large Eagle Island and a complex network of agricultural irrigation. In the mid-twentieth century, this landscape was defined by its water management systems, including the Farmers Union Canal, Warm Springs Canal, and Settlers Canal. While the town of Eagle and the developing outskirts of Garden City show early signs of urban expansion, the surrounding terrain remained largely rural.
