About this map

Snake River hydrology and early 21st-century irrigation infrastructure define this portion of Jefferson County. The river’s complex winding path through the southern half of the sheet creates distinctive landforms like Kellers Island and stagnant water features such as Oxbow Slough. This landscape reveals a highly engineered agricultural environment where the natural flow of the Snake River Valley is diverted into a network of man-made waterways, including the Butte Market Lake Canal, Deer Park Canal, and East Canal.

Away from the riverbanks, the northern terrain transitions to a regular grid of rural access roads like Hawgood Crossing Rd and 1500 N. The protected area of Deer Parks sits along the northern bank of the river, preserving a portion of the riparian corridor. Traces of the region's natural spring activity are visible at East Springs, providing a contrast to the extensive canal system that dominates the local water management.
