1992 Map of Pasadena Valley

About this map

The Snake River carves a deep path through this portion of Elmore County, defining a landscape where irrigation infrastructure and pioneer history converge. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Gopher Canal, King Hill Lateral, and several siphons and pumping stations that serve the agricultural lands of Pasadena Valley. Along the southern heights of Black Mesa, the historic route of the Oregon Trail remains visible, tracing a path above Rosevear Gulch. Local history is anchored by the Pilgrim Stage Station Historic Site near Pilgrim Gulch, marking a significant point of transit from an earlier era. The map also details several natural water sources such as Pancroft Springs and Pilgrim Spring, which likely dictated the placement of early settlements and travel routes through this arid terrain.
