2011 Map of Dairy

About this map

Dairy and the surrounding agricultural basin are defined by a complex network of water management features and low-lying valleys. The Lost River meanders through the central terrain, supported by a system of man-made waterways including the B Canal, F Canal, and the F-1 Lateral, which facilitate irrigation across the flats. To the west, the landscape rises toward Modoc Ridge and The Gap, while Horton Rim stands as a prominent topographical feature to the east. The settlement pattern is concentrated around the Dairy Post Office and the rail-oriented Dairy Siding, reflecting the area's historical reliance on transportation and ranching. The presence of the Sky Wagon Ranch Airport in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the continued importance of regional connectivity in this rural landscape, while Swan Lake and the Barton Reservoir anchor the hydrologic profile of the northern reaches.
