2013 Map of American Falls SW

About this map

Pleasant Valley and the surrounding agricultural tracts of Bingham County are defined by a complex network of irrigation that draws from the massive American Falls Reservoir. The landscape is etched with numbered laterals and named watercourses like Highline Canal and Lateral Q, which sustain the farming operations between the reservoir's edge and the basalt-rimmed coulees. To the south, the Snake River flows below the reservoir, passing the American Falls Hatchery and natural features like Rueger Springs and Davis Springs. These water sources are vital to the local economy, supporting operations such as the Western Home Ranch. The map also traces a dense grid of rural roads, including Tiede Allen Rd and Rast Rd, which connect the isolated farmsteads and agricultural centers across this corner of the Snake River Plain.
