1964 Map of Eden NE

About this map

Cinder Butte rises as a prominent volcanic landmark in this high-desert landscape north of the Snake River, marking a region defined by agricultural engineering and geological extraction. The arrival of water through the Milner Gooding Canal transformed this arid Jerome County terrain into productive land, supported by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure including a Flume and numerous wells. The map reveals the area's practical land use during the mid-to-late 20th century, with industrial and ranching features such as Cinder Pits, a large Feedlot, and an isolated Corral situated among the rocky outcrops. A straight grid of section-line roads like South Road and 600 South Road anchors the rural transit system, facilitating movement between the fields and the volcanic formations that dominate the northern horizon.
