2017 Map of Burley NE

About this map

Agricultural irrigation networks define the landscape of Minidoka County in this 2017 survey. The region is heavily managed through a systematic grid of canals and drains, such as the C-1 Canal and C-2 Canal, which support the high-desert farming economy. These waterways are complemented by a series of arterial drainage features including the H Main Drain, J Main Drain, and K Main Drain, which follow the subtle topographic contours to manage runoff across the vast fields. The road system is strictly rectilinear, organized by numbered routes like 800 N RD and 400 N RD. Near the southern boundary, the Paul Cem provides a genealogical touchpoint for local families, situated near the intersection of the D-Nine Drain and the lower canal systems. The map illustrates how human engineering has entirely reorganized the Snake River Plain to facilitate large-scale cultivation.
