1964 Map of Morgans Pasture NE

About this map

Lava fields dominate this mid-century survey of the Snake River Plain, where the basaltic terrain creates a complex environment for navigation and land use. The topography is defined by the sharp contrast between these volcanic formations and the flatter expanse of Morgans Pasture. The map highlights a critical network of water resources in an otherwise arid landscape, marked by specifically numbered locations such as Well 4816, Well 4842, and Well 4766. A solitary Jeep Trail provides the primary passage through the northern reaches, crossing the boundary between Bonneville Co and Bingham Co. This cartographic record from the early 1960s captures the intersection of geological history and the essential infrastructure required to support life and livestock on the high plains of southeastern Idaho.
