1968 Map of Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The agrarian and high-desert landscapes of southern Idaho are meticulously detailed here, centered on the settlement of Basin and the eastern edge of Oakley. The map illustrates a complex water management system essential for high-altitude agriculture, featuring the East Canal, an Aqueduct, and a Flume that channel water from sources like Mill Creek and Birch Creek toward the valley floors. These systems reflect the regional reliance on spring-fed irrigation, with several named sources including Warm Spring, Hot Spring, and various unnamed Springs scattered along the slopes of Middle Mountain.
