2010 Map of Arco South

About this map

The Big Lost River defines this high-desert Idaho landscape as it winds through a network of waterways and irrigation infrastructure south of the town of Arco. The map captures the intricate relationship between water and the arid terrain, showing the meandering path of Ferris Slough and the engineered utility of Munsey Ditch. To the west, the Arco Airport serves as a modern waypoint, while the southeastern corner is punctuated by the distinct elevation of Sixmile Butte. This 2010 survey illustrates a grid of rural routes and long-distance desert tracks, including the Arco-Minidoka Rd and Huddles Hole Rd, which trace the historic movement of people across the Butte County sagebrush. The convergence of these primitive roads and waterways reveals a landscape managed for aviation, agriculture, and transit in the shadow of the Lost River Range.
