1949 Map of Idaho Falls North

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The Snake River carves through the center of this landscape, defining the agricultural and industrial character of the region just north of Idaho Falls in the late 1940s. The intricate network of irrigation, including the Osgood Canal, Great Western Canal, and Idaho Canal, illustrates the intensive transformation of the high desert for farming. Evidence of community life is scattered throughout the rural sections, from the Coltman Ward Church in Coltman to the Fairview School and St Leon Grange. Transportation and infrastructure are central to this sheet, featuring the Union Pacific railroad and the Yellowstone Highway leading into the city. Along the river, the Idaho Falls Municipal Power Plant and the nearby Idaho Falls Municipal Airport highlight the postwar expansion and modernization of this eastern Idaho hub.
