1954 Map of Pocatello

About this map

The Snake River corridor anchors this mid-century view of southern Idaho, where the massive American Falls Reservoir and Lake Walcott define the region's hydraulic and agricultural character. From the rail hub at Pocatello and the nearby Fort Hall Indian Reservation, the Union Pacific railroad lines branch out across a landscape of volcanic fields and high desert valleys. The map documents the development of the Raft River Valley and Malad Valley, showing early transportation links like Interstate 80N and U S 30n alongside established agricultural centers such as Burley, Rupert, and Aberdeen.
