1955 Map of Orchard

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Union Pacific rail lines slice diagonally across this Ada County landscape, anchoring the small settlements of Orchard and Orchard Ranch. The 1955 survey, updated with 1971 aerial data, reveals a high desert environment transitioning into an engineered agricultural zone. This shift is marked by the presence of an Irrigation Ditch and a series of wells that support life away from the primary watercourses. The local geography is strictly organized by the Boise Base Line, which serves as the primary latitudinal reference for the regional survey system.
