1964 Map of Lakeview NW

About this map

The Fremont National Forest dominates the northwest corner of this Lake County landscape, where the high desert meets the irrigated plains of the Goose Lake Valley. The 1960s economy is clearly visible through a network of water management features, including the North Canal and Canal No 6, which support local agriculture and livestock operations. Scattered homesteads such as Lehmann Ranch and Reed Ranch are linked by gravel and unimproved roads, including the West Side Road and the dedicated Stock Drive. Educational infrastructure of the era is represented by the New Idaho Sch and Vernon Sch, reflecting a rural community structure before further consolidation. The southern portion of the map is defined by the Lakeview Airport and the northern reaches of Goose Lake, emphasizing the region's importance as a hub for both transportation and water resources.
