1955 Map of Pingree

About this map

The Fort Hall Indian Reservation dominates the landscape of this mid-century survey, where the Snake River carves a winding path through Bingham and Bannock counties. The agricultural settlement of Pingree serves as a northern anchor, connected to the wider region by the Union Pacific railroad and the Aberdeen Springfield Road. A notable layer of Western migration history is preserved here through the charted Oregon Trail, which follows the southern banks of the river across the reservation lands. The terrain is marked by prominent volcanic features such as Ferry Butte and Cedar Butte, which rise above the intricate network of watercourses including Mud Slough, Dignie Creek, and Spring Creek. Evidence of local infrastructure and community life appears in the form of a small Cem and Gravel Pits, alongside named routes like Shoemaker Road and Bronco Road.
