2017 Map of Clawson

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Teton Basin is defined by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure along the Idaho-Wyoming border. Managed water systems such as the Kilpack Canal, Haden Canal, and Hog Canal divert flow from mountain drainages to support the high-altitude farming near the community of Clawson. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Targhee National Forest, where steep canyons like Teton Canyon and Dry Canyon emerge from Commissary Ridge. The map documents the rural interface where developed ranching land meets the wilderness, including the settlement of Alta and the isolated Pratt Cem. This layout reflects the early 21st-century reliance on mountain snowmelt, channeled through historic routes like the Edison and Ricks Canal and N Leigh Canal to maintain the valley's productivity.
