About this map

The Snake River carves through the southern portion of this landscape, marking a significant boundary between Jerome and Cassia counties. The agricultural character of the region is defined by an intricate network of irrigation features, including the G Canal, J Canal, and various water management points like the J Waste Pond. Settlement is concentrated at small named locales such as Schodde and Hynes in the north, and Hobson situated just south of the river.

A strictly gridded road system, featuring thoroughfares like W Baseline Rd and 300 South Rd, organizes the high desert terrain. This infrastructure supports the intensive water distribution system visible through labels like G 20 C Lateral and G 19 D Lateral, which are essential for the area's transition from arid plains to productive farmland. The presence of the S Main Drain further illustrates the complex hydrological engineering required to manage the basin's water resources.
