About this map

The Teton River cuts a deep, winding path through the high plains of eastern Idaho, defining the border between Fremont and Madison Counties. This 1960s survey documents the landscape prior to the completion of the Linderman Dam, showing the river in its free-flowing state before major topographic alterations. The surrounding plateau is characterized by dry-land agricultural features like a dedicated Wheat field and rural gathering points such as the Grange Hall and a local Church located in the northern reaches.

Local life is anchored by the Linderman Ranch near the river's edge, with several Wells and a Gravel Pit indicating the rural economy of the mid-20th century. Major tributaries like Canyon Creek and Crooked Creek join the main river channel, their canyons providing sharp relief against the agricultural benchlands above. For those studying the hydrology and land use of the region, this map provides an exact record of river miles, from Mile 32 through Mile 38, before the reservoir changed the canyon forever.
