1955 Map of Rose

About this map

Lava formations dominate the northern landscape of this Bingham County survey, terminating abruptly against a dense network of water management systems that transformed the arid terrain. The Snake River flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by an intricate web of irrigation infrastructure including the Great Western Canal, Aberdeen-Springfield Canal, and Peoples Canal. This reliance on water engineering is evident in the numerous labeled features such as the Siphon, Flume, and Gaging Sta, which supported the agricultural development of the region. The small settlement of Rose and the nearby Jensen are situated along the Union Pacific Railroad, which parallels the river. Further north, the Boise Base Line serves as a critical surveying boundary across Morgans Pasture, illustrating the early systematic organization of Idaho land.
