2013 Map of Ammon

About this map

Idaho Falls and the growing city of Ammon anchor the northwestern corner of this study, where residential street grids meet the agricultural expanse of the Snake River Plain. This landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation, featuring essential water routes like the Ammon Extension Canal, Gardner Canal, and the Meppen Spillway. These man-made features work in tandem with natural drainages such as Sand Creek and Henry Cr to transform the arid terrain into productive farmland. To the east and south, the elevation rises sharply away from the valley floor. Features such as the Sand Hills, Rock Hollow, and Galbraith Hill illustrate the transition from the irrigated plains to more varied topography. Notable local landmarks include the SandyDowns Rodeo Grounds and the Rainbow Ranch Airport, reflecting the region's mix of traditional western culture and modern infrastructure.
