1952 Map of Weiser Cove

About this map

The Weiser River valley in the early 1950s is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation and transportation, where the Galloway Canal and several siphons move water across the semi-arid landscape. The Union Pacific Railroad runs parallel to the river, serving the small settlement of Rebecca and nearby agricultural interests. Evidence of early 20th-century rural life is captured in the presence of the Jeffreys School and the already noted Pleasant View School (Aban'd), indicating a shifting population pattern in this corner of Idaho.
