About this map

The Snake River winds through the heart of this Southern Idaho landscape, marking the boundary between Minidoka and Cassia counties. In the early 21st century, the city of Burley serves as a major hub, its grid extending toward the riverbanks and the Burley Municipal Airport. Across the water, the community of Heyburn is linked by bridges near Hog Island, while the smaller settlements of Paul, Myers, and Budge dot the northern agricultural plains.

Evidence of the region's complex irrigation history is visible in the dense network of waterways like the B-Twelve Drain, G Canal, and Canal Number 20. The map also captures the site of Starrhs Ferry and the Pleasant View Cemetery, providing essential geographic markers for those researching local family history. From the southern reach at Ruby to the river islands like Goat Island and Crow Island, the landscape is a study in how the river's path and artificial canals together sustain these high-desert communities.
