About this map

The Fort Hall Indian Reservation occupies the majority of this mid-century landscape, where the Blackfoot River meanders through a complex system of irrigation and natural waterways. The map documents an intricate network of local water management, including the Wapello Canal, Weeding Lane Canal, and Hanson Ditch, which supported the agricultural development of the region. A significant historical landmark, the Fort Hall No. 2 Historic Site, is situated within the Lincoln Creek Valley south of a local Cem.

Cultural and genealogical researchers will find various family-named landmarks and infrastructure, such as Weeding Lane, Tanner Lane, and the Presto Trail. The transition from the river bottomlands to the rising elevations of the reservation is marked by features like Little Indian Road and Cold Creek. These details provide a clear view of the rural Idaho landscape before modern expansion altered the layout of its historical trails and irrigation systems.
