IDAHO OFFICIAL MAPS

 

Notes:

 

The maps from the 1930s listed below were issued by the Department of Public Works, which is listed on the front cover. In addition to these maps, various chambers of commerce are known to have issued maps (Boise and the Idaho State Chamber of Commerce maps are known from 1931). These maps appear very similar to the official Department of Public Works edition on the outside, and may very well be identical internally. Such maps are likely to exist from other years as well.

 

From 1959 through 1972, it is difficult to distinguish the front cover from the back. Only one is described here.
