1951 Map of Poplar

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Poplar serves as the primary landmark in this eastern Idaho landscape, situated where the high desert terrain meets the fertile irrigation systems of the Snake River valley. The map documents an intricate network of water management essential to mid-century agriculture, featuring the Riley Ditch and various canals that divert water from the main river channel. Beyond the irrigated flats, the topography is defined by sharp elevation changes and numerous seasonal watercourses, including Birch Creek and Willow Creek, which carve deep paths through the high country of Bonneville County. Natural water sources like Stinking Spring and Mud Spring are specifically noted, highlighting their importance for livestock or local navigation in an otherwise arid environment. The map captures the area just after World War II, showing the established rural road system and the remote character of Croyden Gulch before later regional developments.
