About this map

Snake River hydrology dominates this portion of the Magic Valley, where a sophisticated network of man-made waterways supports the region's agricultural character. Central to the landscape is the Main North Side Canal, which works in tandem with the Main South Side Canal to divert water across the plains. The small settlement of Acequia is positioned at a key junction of these irrigation lines and rail infrastructure, while further south, the community of Jackson sits near the riverbanks.

A network of drainage systems, including C Main Drain, D Main Drain, and B Main Drain, weave between the gridded section lines, illustrating the intensive land management required in this arid environment. Genealogists will find the Jackson Cem located just north of the Jackson settlement area. The map also delineates the boundary between Minidoka Co and Cassia Co as it follows the course of the river, marking a significant local political division.
