About this map

The Snake River winds through the southern portion of this Jefferson County landscape, creating a complex hydrologic network of natural and engineered waterways. Within the Snake River Valley, the river breaks around Kellers Island, flanked by the Oxbow Slough and the marshy expanses of the Deer Parks wildlife area. This section of the river is vital for regional irrigation, evidenced by the presence of the Butte Market Lake Canal, Deer Park Canal, and the E Canal.

Upland from the river, the terrain is defined by a systematic grid of section roads and larger routes like Hawgood Crossing Rd and Menan Butte Rd. The topography reveals the subtle shifts in the river's ancient path, with features like East Springs emerging from the lower benches. This map captures the modern balance between preserved wildlife habitats and the extensive water management systems that support the surrounding agricultural plateau.
