1971 Map of Pocatello North

About this map

Pocatello and its northern neighbors, Chubbuck and Tyhee, are shown during a period of significant suburban expansion and infrastructure development. The Union Pacific railroad corridor serves as a primary industrial axis, while the newly constructed Interstate 15 carves through the Pocatello Bench, altering the local transport network previously dominated by U.S. 91. The map reveals the transition from the agricultural lands of the Fort Hall Indian Reservation and the Hi-Line Canal to the growing residential blocks of Alameda. Notable local landmarks include the County Fairgrounds, the Highland Golf Course, and numerous neighborhood schools like Edahow Sch and Lewis and Clark Sch. The eastern edge is defined by the steep rises of the Pocatello Range, where Buffalo Creek and Pocatello Creek descend toward the Portneuf River valley.
