1964 Map of Hunt

About this map

The Minidoka Relocation Center stands as a significant historical site within the high desert landscape of Jerome County, marking the location of the World War II-era internment camp near Hunt. This 1964 survey, updated with late-1980s data, illustrates the complex water management infrastructure essential to the region's agricultural development. The Milner Gooding Canal and North Side Main Canal cut through the terrain, feeding into the Wilson Lake Reservoir. The map captures a transition in land use, showing localized industrial and agricultural features such as a Feedlot, several Storage Bins, and a Gravel Pit. The presence of the Footbridge over the canal and the established grid of the 4000 Road and 400 South Road reflect the human imprint on this arid environment.
