1937 Map of Pocatello

About this map

The University of Idaho Southern Branch serves as a focal point for the growing city of Pocatello, which expanded significantly during the late 1930s. This survey illustrates the urban core's relationship with neighboring Alameda and the agricultural periphery including Chubbuck and Tyhee. The landscape is defined by the Portneuf River corridor, which dictated the path of the Union Pacific railroad and the Old Oregon Trail, marking the historic transit routes through this Idaho mountain gateway.
