1976 Map of Idaho Falls South

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Agricultural fields and irrigation networks dominate this 1976 orthophotoquad, showcasing the intensive land use south of Idaho Falls. The Snake River bisects the landscape, its winding course serving as the primary lifeline for the region's farming economy. Parallel to the river, the Great Western Canal underscores the complex engineering required to distribute water across the high desert plain. In the northern reaches, the expanding footprint of Shelly provides a clear view of mid-century rural settlement patterns as the town grew in tandem with the surrounding agricultural industry. This aerial perspective captures the precise geometric layout of field boundaries and transport corridors before the further suburbanization of the late twentieth century.
