About this map

The agricultural landscape of Jerome County is defined by an orderly grid of section roads and water management systems including several named Canal and Ditch features. The small settlement of Falls City and the nearby locality of Barrymore anchor the central portion of the map, connected by the diagonal stretch of Barrymore Road. To the northwest, the edge of Jerome is marked by Jerome High School and its adjacent athletic fields, while the Jerome County Airport serves the region's aviation needs.

Distinctive geological and infrastructure landmarks break the flat terrain, notably Flat Top Butte with its cluster of communication facilities, including a Radio Tower (KMVT), and the geographic point at Sugar Loaf (Site). The map reveals a mix of local industry and community life, from the Racetrack and Trailer Park to the religious grounds of Ascension Priory. Extensive gravel operations and borrow pits are scattered throughout, illustrating the rural development patterns in Idaho during the mid-to-late 20th century.
