1956 Map of Mountain Home South

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Mountain Home serves as the focal point of this 1950s landscape, illustrating the transition from historic frontier paths to modern infrastructure. The Old Mountain City-Mountain Home Freight Trail winds through the southwestern sections, providing a tangible link to the era of wagon freighting before the dominance of the Union Pacific railroad. Irrigation and water management are central to the region's development, evidenced by the West Side Canal and various reservoirs distributed across Clover Hollow and Slade Flat. Revisions from the late 1970s reveal the urban expansion of the town, including new residential areas like the Trailer Park and essential services such as the Sewage Disposal facility and a local Gravel Pit. The drainage of Rattlesnake Creek and the presence of a Landing Strip further characterize this high-desert settlement's logistical and agricultural foundations during the mid-to-late 20th century.
