1958 Map of Nampa

About this map

Agricultural and industrial growth define Nampa during the late 1950s, a period when the city was evolving as a regional hub for processing and education. The Sugar Factory and its nearby Sugar Factory Camp highlight the area's economic reliance on the surrounding farmland, which is irrigated by an extensive network including the New York Canal and Ridenbaugh Canal. This map captures the campus of Northwest Nazarene College and numerous local institutions like the Nampa State School and Mt Calvary Cemetery. Beyond the urban core, rural life is marked by named intersections such as Kings Corner and Tiegs Corner, along with dozens of local schools including Lone Star School and Sunny Ridge School. To the southwest, the vast waters of Lake Lowell and the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge provide a stark contrast to the busy Union Pacific rail lines cutting through the center of town.
