About this map

The State Capitol stands at the heart of this Boise study, illustrating the city's complex relationship between urban development and the vital irrigation infrastructure of the Boise Valley. This 2010 survey details an intricate network of waterways, including the New York Canal, Settlers Canal, and Ridenbaugh Canal, which historically transformed the arid sagebrush plains into a fertile agricultural region. These canals thread through modern neighborhoods and institutional landmarks like Boise State University and the Boise Municipal Airport.

To the north and east, the map transitions into the foothills, where local heritage is preserved at Pioneer Cemetery and the Fort Boise Military Cemetery. Notable high points like Table Rock and the Table Rock Cross overlook the shifting landscape of settlements such as Barber and Vernon. From the industrial corridors near Garden City to the southern reaches of Isaacs Canyon, the document serves as a detailed record of Idaho's capital city during a period of significant growth.
