2020 Map of Bliss

About this map

Bliss serves as the central hub of this high desert landscape, positioned where the transport corridor of Old Hwy 30 meets a complex network of agricultural irrigation. The dramatic descent into the Hagerman Valley is defined by the winding course of the Snake River, which carves through the basaltic terrain below Bliss Point. This 2020 survey highlights the vital infrastructure supporting the region's ranching and farming economy, including the King Hill Main Canal and several distribution systems like Lateral Y-4 and Lateral Z-6. Beyond the town center, local thoroughfares such as Hill City Rd and Bliss Grade Rd navigate the steep elevation changes. The map reveals the intricate engineering required to move water across the plateau, with the Y Canal and Z Canal tracing the contours of the land to sustain the homesteads and fields that line the river's path.
