1953 Map of Star

About this map

The Boise River splits into multiple channels to form Eagle Island in this detailed survey of central Ada County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation, featuring the Farmers Union Canal, Middleton Canal, and the Phyllis Canal, which support the agricultural development surrounding the town of Star. Local educational history is particularly visible through several listed school sites, including the Lower Fairview School and multiple facilities noted as abandoned, such as the Upper Fairview School and Blue Valley School. Institutional land use is also prominent at the Prison Farm located on the island. Genealogists may find interest in the documented locations of the Fairview Cemetery and the Home of the Peace Cem, while landmarks like the Radio Range Station reflect the mid-century infrastructure of the region.
