1959 Map of Yale

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Lake Walcott and the Snake River anchor this mid-century landscape where the Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge provides a sanctuary amidst the volcanic terrain of the Lava beds. The map details a transition from the industrial Union Pacific rail corridor through Wapi and DeWoff to the agricultural and ranching operations further south. Family-named landmarks such as the Fenstermaker Ranch, Barkdull Ranch, and Jensen Ranch indicate the scattered settlement patterns typical of this high desert region. Notable for local history is the Minidoka State Picnic Ground (Historical Site) and Register Rock along the river, marking historical transit points. The topography rises sharply from the river valley toward North Canyon Mountain and Badger Peak, where complex drainage systems like Fall Creek and Raft River intersect the rugged volcanic uplands.
