About this map

Acequia serves as the primary hub in this portion of Minidoka County, where the landscape is defined by an intensive network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure essential to southern Idaho agriculture. The Snake River carves through the southern section of the quadrangle, crossed by the Jackson Bridge and flanked by the Main North Side Canal and the Main South Side Canal. This dual-canal system, along with smaller arteries like A Canal and E Canal, illustrates the complexity of water management required to sustain local farmland.

South of the river, the settlement of Jackson is situated near the Jackson Cem, providing a focal point for family history researchers interested in the rural communities of the region. The map also meticulously details the drainage grid, including D Main Drain, C Main Drain, and B Main Drain, which manage runoff across the surveyed townships. This 2017 edition by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of how these water-sharing systems interact with the established road grid and township boundaries.
