2010 Map of Berger

About this map

Berger is the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Twin Falls County, where a rigid grid of rural roads, including E 3400 N and N 2500 E, dictates the movement of people and commerce. The terrain is defined by the vital irrigation infrastructure necessary for farming in the Idaho desert, most notably the High Line Canal and the High Line North Canal. These engineered waterways contrast with the natural drainage of Desert Creek and the shallow depression of Cedar Draw. Numerous numbered irrigation channels, such as Lateral Number 17 and Lateral 213, branch across the landscape to support local fields. This survey provides a clear view of the rural Idaho countryside in the early 21st century, illustrating how the development of the region remains fundamentally tied to water management and the survey grid system.
