2017 Map of American Falls

About this map

The American Falls Reservoir dominates this Idaho landscape, where the waters of the Snake River are harnessed for both power and irrigation. The city of American Falls is positioned along the southwestern shore, revealing a detailed street grid and the nearby American Falls Airport. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex water management system essential to the region, featuring the Main W Canal and numerous laterals that support local agriculture. Beyond the water's edge, the terrain rises toward landmarks such as Pops Mtn and Lone Rock, while the northern reaches include Fenstermaker Point and the small settlement of Fairview. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Falls View Cem overlooking the river and trace the various recreational points like Seagull Bay that define the modern shoreline.
