About this map

The Snake River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of the Magic Valley, defining the borders between Cassia, Jerome, and Minidoka counties. The landscape is heavily shaped by an intricate irrigation network essential to the region's agricultural character, featuring dozens of named channels such as the G 20 Lateral, J Canal, and S Main Drain. These systems feed into collection points like J Waste Pond and J 36 Pond, reflecting the highly engineered water management required for farming in the high desert south of the river.

Small local settlements including Schodde, Hynes, and Hobson serve as focal points for the surrounding rural sections. The township lines for t9s r21e and t10s r22e organize a grid of secondary roads such as Crestview Rd and W Milner Rd, which provide access to the various laterals and drains. The map documents the persistent agricultural infrastructure and the small, distributed communities that rely on the controlled flow of the river.
