2017 Map of Bliss

About this map

Bliss sits at a critical geographic junction where the high desert plateau meets the deep canyon of the Snake River. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by its complex irrigation infrastructure, including the King-Hill-Main Canal, Y Canal, and Z Canal, alongside numerous laterals that sustain agriculture above the Hagerman Valley. The descent from the town toward the river is marked by the winding Bliss Grade Rd, leading toward the Bliss Reservoir where the Gooding Co and Twin Falls Co border follows the river's course. Transportation patterns are clearly visible, contrasting the modern interstate corridor with the alignment of Old Highway 30 and rural routes like Hill City Rd. The map provides a precise view of how water management and topography dictate the settlement patterns of this Idaho region.
