1956 Map of Mountain Home North

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Mountain Home serves as the focal point of this 1950s survey, illustrating a community defined by its transport and water infrastructure. The town layout is anchored by the Union Pacific Railroad and the historic path of the Old Oregon Trail Road, highlighting its role as a key stop in the Idaho desert. Infrastructure like the Interstate Airway Communications Station and the Mountain Home Municipal Airport underscores the importance of aviation during this era, while the Mountain Home Reservoir and a complex network including the Miller Canal and Feeder Canal reveal the intensive efforts to manage water for this arid landscape. Institutional landmarks such as the Court House, City Hall, and Elmore Memorial Hospital are clearly marked alongside residential growth near Carl Miller Park. Further north, the terrain rises toward Lockman Butte and the VABM Ridge, contrasting the developed valley floor with the open rangeland of Elmore County.
