1971 Map of Michaud

About this map

The Fort Hall Bottoms and Michaud Flats define this stretch of the Idaho landscape, where the Portneuf River meets the eastern reaches of the American Falls Reservoir. This 1971 survey captures the area during a period of transition, showing the industrial development around Batiste and the Pocatello Municipal Airport alongside the rural boundaries of the Fort Hall Indian Reservation. The presence of the Indian Cem and Reider Cemetery provides valuable data for genealogists, while the numerous family-named roads like Reider Road, Wallin Road, and Havenor Road trace the local settlement patterns of the era. The map also records the specialized land use of the time, including a Fish Hatchery, a Drag Strip, and several Industrial Waste Ponds near the Bannock Co Power Co line.
