1955 Map of Hailey

About this map

The Camas Prairie stretches across the southern half of this mid-century Idaho survey, defining a high-desert agricultural landscape that transitions into the high peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains and Pioneer Mountains. Along the Wood River, the resort and mining corridor through Hailey, Bellevue, and Ketchum is clearly visible, showing the early infrastructure of Sun Valley. In the southwest, the Mountain Home Air Force Base and its associated Gunnery Range mark the military's footprint on the high plains near Mountain Home. The Union Pacific rail lines serve agricultural outposts like Picabo and Richfield, while a network of reservoirs including Magic Reservoir and Anderson Ranch Reservoir reveals the complex water management system essential for regional survival and power.
