2013 Map of Ashton

About this map

Ashton serves as the focal point of this Eastern Idaho landscape, situated just west of the Marysville community near the edge of the Targhee National Forest. The area is defined by its complex irrigation network, where the Farmers Own Canal, Marysville Canal, and N Lateral Marysville Canal distribute water across the high plains. Significant topographic relief is found along the northern and southern borders, where the Henrys Fork and Fall River carve through deep canyons such as Box Canyon and Strong Canyon. The presence of the Ashton Fish Hatchery and the Ashton Reservoir underscores the importance of local water management and fishery resources. This survey illustrates the intersection of agricultural infrastructure and the natural drainage systems of the Upper Snake River Valley.
