About this map

Baldy Knoll rises above a landscape defined by organized irrigation and systematic land divisions in this 2023 survey of Bingham County. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the complex water management network essential to the region's agriculture, including the Aberdeen Springfield Canal, Peoples Canal, and the Highline Ditch. These waterways support the outlying areas of Morgans Pasture, where the desert terrain has been shaped into productive land through engineering.

A grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as Larsen Rd and Sagebrush Rd, provides access to the high ground of Lemhi Ridge. Features like Lemhi Pass and the circular Baldy Knoll Loop trace the natural topography, illustrating how modern rural infrastructure follows the contours of the Idaho interior. This map is a clear record of the intersection between natural landforms and the human systems of water and transit that sustain the area.
