1979 Map of Hollister SW

About this map

Salmon Falls Creek carves a significant canyon through the high plateau of Twin Falls County, defining the western portion of this 1970s landscape. This survey captures a rural environment structured by water management, where the Main Canal and a Siphon facilitate the movement of resources across the arid terrain toward the Lower Deep Creek Res. The map illustrates the practical infrastructure of the high desert, from the sheltered Antelope Pocket to numerous dispersed Water Tanks and a solitary Corral that support the region's ranching and livestock heritage. Evidence of local industry is visible along North Road, where several Gravel Pits suggest the ongoing maintenance of the area's transportation network. This map provides researchers with a clear view of how irrigation and land use transformed the Snake River Plain periphery.
