1971 Map of Inkom

About this map

The Pocatello Range dominates the northern half of this landscape, where high-elevation landmarks like Chinks Peak and the Silver Sage Girl Scout Camp overlook the valley below. To the south, the Caribou National Forest covers the terrain, carved by Papoose Creek and Indian Creek. Central to the map is the industrial and transportation corridor following the Portneuf River. This corridor facilitates the Union Pacific railroad and a major pipeline, linking the small settlements of Inkom, Blackrock, and Portneuf. The map details a heavy-industry presence through numerous gravel pits, a borrow pit, and the Fort Hall Mine in Fort Hall Canyon. Recreation and utility features are well-documented, including an Ice Skating Rink near the northern peaks and several identified water sources like Munn Spring and Morris Canyon Spring, which supported the area's local needs during the early 1970s.
