1958 Map of Mora

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Mora sits at a critical junction of rail and water in this late 1950s landscape of Ada County. The Union Pacific (Oregon Short Line) Railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, passing through Mora and following the general course of Indian Creek. This area illustrates the complex irrigation network vital to Idaho's development, featuring the Kuna Canal, the Mason Creek Feeder, and the Hubbard Lateral. These man-made channels diverge from natural waterways like North Indian Creek and Tenmile Creek to support the agricultural potential of the high desert plains. To the east, the landscape transitions into more open country toward Pleasant Valley, while the southern reaches are defined by the intermittent flows of Sand Creek. The map documents a moment when local transportation was managed via the Mora Road and Bennett Road, reflecting a rural infrastructure built around the railroad's presence.
