2020 Map of Acequia

About this map

Acequia sits at the heart of an intricate agricultural landscape defined by the complex water management systems of the Snake River Plain. The town is bordered to the south by the Main North Side Canal, while the Snake River itself cuts through the lower portion of the map, serving as the border between Minidoka County and Cassia County. This area reflects a highly organized irrigation economy, where every section of land is integrated into a network of drains and canals, such as the B Main Drain, C Main Drain, and Main South Side Canal. Near the river, the settlement of Jackson and the nearby Jackson Cem mark a smaller focal point of local history, connected across the water by the Jackson Bridge. The geometry of the landscape is dictated by a rigid grid of roads like Gravity Canal Rd and 900 North Rd, illustrating how early twentieth-century reclamation projects transformed this high desert into productive farmland.
