1955 Map of Pingree

About this map

Pingree and the small settlement of Hansen sit along the Union Pacific line in this mid-century survey of the Snake River corridor. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the irrigated agricultural tracts served by the Aberdeen Springfield Road to the bottomlands of the Fort Hall Indian Reservation. The river itself winds through the center of the sheet, marked by historical landmarks like Ferry Butte and Cedar Butte. A significant historical layer is revealed in the southern portion of the map, where the Oregon Trail is traced alongside various irrigation features such as the Enders Canal and Emma Canal. The presence of several family-named roads like Jeff Cabin Road and Shoemaker Road provides valuable clues for genealogists researching the development of this riverfront community before later 20th-century shifts in land use.
