1971 Map of Moreland
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Agricultural development and water management define this portion of the upper Snake River Plain in the early 1970s. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Aberdeen Springfield Canal, Peoples Canal, and numerous family and community-named ditches like Duncan Ditch and Welch Ditch. These systems support the established settlements of Moreland, Groveland, and Riverside, which are concentrated north of the Snake River. The Blackfoot River meanders across the southern portion of the sheet, where it enters the Fort Hall Indian Reservation. Transportation is centered on the Union Pacific railroad lines, which converge at Aberdeen Junction near a prominent grain elevator, signaling the area's deep ties to the regional farming economy. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating burial sites such as the Moreland Cemetery and the Thomas Riverside Cemetery.
