1964 Map of View

About this map

The settlement of View anchors this mid-century portrait of Idaho's Snake River Plain, where the transition from irrigated agriculture to high-altitude wilderness is clearly defined. In the northern half of the quadrangle, a rigid grid of section-line roads, such as 300 South Road and 400 South Road, supports a landscape of rural civic life. Essential community landmarks include Unity Church, the Grange Hall, and View Cemetery. Water management is central to this region, illustrated by the J Canal and drainage systems like Snipe Gulch Drain.
