Spanning from 1947-1959, this collection contains farm and irrigation studies for several Idaho development projects including American Falls, Little Wood River, Michaud Flats, and Medicine Lodge. These documents are largely Bureau of Reclamation studies in manuscript form—but newspaper clippings, receipts, letters, and other special items can be found in folder 11.
Kept original order as closely as possible. Binders were removed and rehoused in archival standard folders. Items were sometimes separated into multiple folders as not to crumple items by overstuffing.
