1953 Map of Meridian
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Union Pacific Railroad cuts through the growing agricultural landscape of central Ada County, defining the early spatial layout of Meridian. This mid-century survey reveals a highly engineered environment where natural waterways like Indian Creek and Tenmile Creek are augmented by a dense lattice of irrigation canals, including the Ridenbaugh Canal and the New York Canal. These waterways supported the surrounding rural communities, visible here through local landmarks such as the Roosevelt School, High Line School, and the outlying settlement of Sonna.
