2010 Map of Talmage

About this map

Talmage and Central anchor this agricultural landscape in Caribou County, where the topography transitions from the base of Buckskin Mountain in the southwest toward the open reach of Swenson Valley in the northeast. The rural infrastructure of the early 21st century is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads and specialized water management systems like the Soda Canal and Tenmile Creek. Old Hwy 30 cuts diagonally across this grid, serving as a primary corridor through the valley, while the Bancroft Municipal Airport provides an essential connection for this southeastern Idaho community. Local history is etched into the landscape through family-named thoroughfares such as Hatch Rd, Fisher Rd, and Rigby Rd, alongside landmarks like the thoroughfare of Cemetery Rd, which reflect the generations of settlement in this high-desert basin.
