2017 Map of American Falls SW

About this map

Pleasant Valley serves as a central anchor for this agricultural landscape, where a precise grid of rural roads such as Tiede Allen Rd and Center Pleasant Valley Rd divides the Idaho plains. The map illustrates the sophisticated water management systems essential to the region's economy, featuring the Highline Canal and various irrigation laterals, including Lateral P and Lateral R. Along the eastern edge, the geography shifts dramatically at the American Falls Reservoir, where the Snake River continues its course through a series of distinct natural features. Points of interest for local historians include the spring-fed drainages of Spring Hollow and Davis Springs, alongside the curiously named Ferry Hollow. The transition from the high plateau of the Bingham Co line down to the reservoir basin highlights the specific topographical challenges faced by early settlers and modern developers in managing this high-desert environment.
