1950 Map of Goshen

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Sand Hills and the northern reaches of the Blackfoot Mountains dominate this 1950s landscape, illustrating the critical intersection of topography and agricultural engineering in Bingham County. The Union Pacific line runs parallel to a sophisticated irrigation network, including the Highline Canal, Idaho Canal, and Monson Lateral, which transformed this arid terrain into a productive valley. The small settlement of Goshen serves as a local hub, while the southern portion of the map is defined by the Fort Hall Indian Reservation and the winding course of the Blackfoot River. Distinctive landmarks like The Butte and the Jameston Sch provide essential geographic and social anchors. The intricate layout of ditches such as the Indian Ditch highlights the systematic water management required to sustain life and industry between the riverbanks and the rising mountains.
