About this map

Poplar serves as the primary settlement on this 1951 study, where the Snake River flows through the upper corner of the map. The landscape is defined by the hydraulic management of the eastern Idaho plains, featuring the Anderson Canal and Riley Ditch. To the west, the Ririe Reservoir is a dominant water body, held back by the Ririe Dam and its associated Spillway.

A network of drainage systems, including Willow Creek, Birch Creek, and Mud Spring Creek, cut through the terrain toward the river basin. Cultural and geographic markers like Call Dugout Way and the area known as Meadow provide specific local reference points. The map also records industrial and natural features such as a Borrow Pit and the curiously named Stinking Spring Canyon, illustrating the varied land use in this part of Bonneville County.
