About this map

The city of Blackfoot serves as the focal point of this Eastern Idaho landscape, situated near the confluence of the Snake River and the Blackfoot River. The layout of the town is detailed through its grid of streets, including landmarks like the Bingham County Courthouse and McCarley Field. Beyond the city center, the agricultural character of the region is defined by a dense network of irrigation infrastructure, such as the Danskin Canal, Riverside Canal, and Fort Hall Main Canal. These water systems, alongside numerous ditches and laterals, underscore the intensive land management required in the Snake River Plain.

Surrounding communities like Wapello, Groveland, and Collins are connected by a web of rural roads and canals, illustrating the historical development of the county. Notable local sites include the Grove City Cem and the Porterville Bridge over the Snake River. To the southeast, the terrain rises toward Stevens Peak, while the Equalizing Reservoir and Corbett Slough Canal dominate the low-lying areas, highlighting the complex hydrological engineering of the Snake River valley.
