1948 Map of Rigby
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Rigby area in the late 1940s reveals a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation, crucial for the agricultural development of the Upper Snake River Valley. Diverting from the Snake River and its various channels like Annis Slough and Dry Bed, dozens of named waterways—including the Rigby Canal, Harrison Canal, and Payne Canal—crisscross the terrain to support local farms. The town of Rigby serves as the regional hub, situated along the Union Pacific railroad line and modern highway infrastructure. To the west, the settlement of Menan sits near the base of the Little Buttes, while small landmarks like Garfield Sch and various cemeteries provide valuable touchstones for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of Jefferson County.
