1955 Map of Orchard

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path across this high desert landscape south of Boise, anchoring the small settlements of Orchard Ranch and Orchard. In the mid-1950s, this area of Ada County relied heavily on a network of water management features to support its rural outposts, including an Irrigation Ditch, several Wells, and a Reservoir. The Boise Base Line serves as a critical surveying boundary at the northern edge of the map, while a lone Cemetery provides a quiet link to the early families of the high plains.
