It's hard to appreciate how much Twin Falls has changed over the years until you take a look back at where we were back in the 1950's. Thanks to the USGS, now you can. 

The USGS has just released new historical maps of Twin Falls from 1958. I highly recommend you click on it to see the full image to get the full effect of how simple our city was back then.

The one aspect that caught my eye is how much more developed Twin Falls is to the south than it used to be.

What do you think? What other areas do you notice the most change?
