2010 Map of Deer Parks

About this map

The braided channels of the Snake River define this Idaho landscape, where a complex network of irrigation infrastructure supports the regional agriculture. The settlement of Deer Parks is positioned along the river's northern banks, situated near Kellers Island and several prominent water features including Butte Slough and Oxbow Slough. This 2010 survey illustrates the vital importance of water management in Jefferson County, clearly marking the Butte Market Lake Canal, the East Canal, and the Deer Park Canal. Transportation routes such as Hawgood Crossing Rd and Menan Butte Rd cross the terrain, connecting the dispersed rural farmsteads and agricultural plots that have shaped this portion of the Snake River Plain over the last century.
