2024 Map of Bliss

About this map

The Snake River carves through the southern landscape of this Idaho quadrangle, defining the steep elevation changes of the Hagerman Valley. The town of Bliss serves as a central hub, situated near the intersection of modern transportation corridors and historic irrigation routes. Water management is a primary feature of the local geography, with a complex network of engineered waterways including the King Hill Main Canal, Y Canal, and Z Canal feeding the surrounding agricultural lands. Cultural history is preserved at the Chinese Memorial Cem and the Bliss Family Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early settlement. The terrain transitions from the high vantage of Bliss Point down into the depths of Tuana Gulch, illustrating the dramatic geological shift from the basalt plateau to the river basin.
