1979 Map of Pagari

About this map

Pagari sits at the intersection of industry and the high desert landscape along the Union Pacific line in southern Idaho. This 1970s survey captures the region's sparse development, characterized by extensive fields of Lava and the winding course of the Little Wood River. The presence of numerous Borrow Pits and a prominent Water Tank near the tracks reflects the infrastructure required to maintain rail operations across this demanding terrain. North of the river, the Jim Burns Slough and the isolated Crater Lake punctuate the arid surroundings, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Snake River Plain. The map meticulously documents the transition between Idaho and Lincoln counties, providing a clear record of the rural land divisions and the network of Jeep Trails that provided access to the remote backcountry during this era.
