1956 Map of Mountain Home South

About this map

Mountain Home serves as the focal point for this mid-century look at the High Desert landscape, where early pioneer routes and modern transportation corridors intersect. The map illustrates a transition from the historic Old Freight Trail and the Old Mountain City-Mountain Home Trail to the developing infrastructure of the 1950s. The Short Line Highway (Oregon Trail) runs alongside the Union Pacific railroad, tracing a path through Slade Flat toward the southern outskirts of the settlement.
