1957 Map of Sands Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Riverside and the winding course of the Snake River anchor the northeastern corner of this 1957 survey, where a complex network of canals and islands like Fruit Island supported the local agricultural economy. Moving southwest into the higher elevations, the landscape transitions from irrigated flats to a rugged terrain of high peaks and basins, including the namesake Sands Basin and Shares Basin. The map captures an era of specific land uses, from a designated Boy Scout Camp and an abandoned Target to several family-named locations such as Bush Ranch and French John Hill.
