About this map

The Raft River Valley landscape in southern Idaho is defined here by a series of agricultural and water-management features captured in the late 1960s. The Raft River winds northward through the center of the valley, joined by tributaries such as Clear Creek and Cottonwood Creek as they descend from the higher terrain. Small settlements and named locations like Bridge and Keogh provide local reference points for researchers studying this portion of Cassia County.

Evidence of local ranching and rural infrastructure is seen in the numerous Well markings and the presence of the Olson Cem north of Cottonwood Creek. The map also documents the presence of an Aqueduct and a Water Tank in the northeastern section, indicating the significance of irrigation and water transport in this arid region. For those tracking old routes, a Jeep Trail traverses the western hills, while various gravel and borrow pits suggest the material needs of road maintenance or local industry during this period.
