About this map

The Fort Hall Bottoms and the sprawling Michaud Flats dominate this topographic landscape in the early 1970s, illustrating the complex intersection of natural water systems and industrial development. The American Falls Reservoir and the winding Portneuf River dictate the local geography, providing the necessary resources for infrastructure like the Bannock Power Co and various irrigation features including the Tyhee Wasteway and several unnamed aqueducts.

Evidence of local history and tribal presence is found at the Indian Cem near Chubbuck. The map also captures the functional era of the Pocatello Municipal Airport, flanked by a series of Gravel Pits and industrial features such as an Industrial Waste Pond and the Batiste Springs Pumping Sta. These landmarks, along with family-named roads like Reider Road and Sorrell Road, provide a detailed record of the area's economic and civic layout during this period.
