2010 Map of Appendicitis Hill

About this map

Appendicitis Hill rises above a high-desert landscape defined by complex water management and deep canyon systems in this 2010 USGS survey. The Eastern Snake River Plain's agricultural history is visible through the extensive network of the Blaine Canal and Lower Blaine Canal, which distribute water across a grid of rural roads like Aikele Rd and Jensen Ln. To the west, the terrain transitions into a series of drainages, including Marsh Canyon, Hammond Canyon, and Little Chokecherry Canyon, reflecting the area's geological character. For local historians, the Lost River Cemetery provides a specific point of genealogical interest, while the Antelope Creek Access Area and Sorenson Spring indicate the enduring importance of natural water sources in this arid Idaho environment.
