1959 Map of Yale

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Snake River corridor defines this landscape at the intersection of Power, Cassia, and Blaine Counties. Within the Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge, the waters of Lake Walcott and Bonanza Lake provide a sharp contrast to the surrounding Lava beds and high desert terrain. Historical significance is anchored at the Register Rock State Picnic Ground, a notable waypoint for early travelers. The map reveals a mid-century agricultural and ranching economy, with family-named operations such as Fenstermaker Ranch, Barkdull Ranch, and the Jensen Ranch scattered across the Raft River Valley and surrounding slopes. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by the Union Pacific railroad line to the north and a major Pipeline crossing the southern terrain near Badger Peak. Remote outposts like Yale and DeWoff sit along the rail and road networks, while geographical curiosities like Janies Nipples and North Chapin Mtn rise above the high-desert plains.
