1950 Map of St Anthony

About this map

St. Anthony serves as the focal point of this mid-century agricultural landscape, situated at a significant hydraulic junction where the Henrys Fork and Teton River carve through the Snake River Plain. The map meticulously documents an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the region's productivity, including the St. Anthony Canal, Last Chance Canal, and Farmers Friend Canal. These man-made waterways define the settlement patterns around the Egin Bench and the neighboring communities of Twin Groves, Wilford, and Teton. Cultural landmarks such as the Idaho Industrial Training School and the Riverview Cemetery provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The transportation corridor is anchored by the Union Pacific railroad and the Yellowstone Highway, tracing the movement of goods and travelers through Fremont and Madison counties during this era of post-war growth.
