1950 Map of Roberts
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Roberts serves as the focal point for this 1950 survey, situated where the Union Pacific railroad tracks and Route 91 parallel the eastern edge of the Snake River plain. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the high desert agriculture of the region. Systems such as the Poitevin Ditch, Mc Carthy Ditch, and Larsen Ditch weave through the terrain, managing water flow from Taylor Slough toward Market Lake. The topography shifts from the level irrigation basins near the settlement to the more varied elevations of the Butte to the south. This mapping captures the vital intersection of rail transport and hydraulic engineering that sustained small Idaho communities in the mid-twentieth century, showing the precise placement of pumps and canals that transformed the arid Bonneville and Jefferson county line area.
