About this map

Downata Hot Springs and the agricultural lands of the Marsh Creek valley define this high-desert landscape in southeastern Idaho. The map captures a corridor of small settlements along the base of the mountains, including Downey, Cambridge, and the site of Zenda. Irrigation remains a central theme for the region, illustrated by the Portneuf Marsh Valley Canal as it winds across the valley floor to support the local ranching and farming economy.

Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded here, including the Downey Cemetery, Marsh Valley Cemetery, and Grant Ward Cemetery. The drainage network is particularly detailed, showing the convergence of Brush Creek, Ninemile Creek, and the Left Hand Fork Marsh Creek as they join the main stem of Marsh Creek. Small-scale aviation and local infrastructure are represented by the Downey Airport, while rural roads like E Grant Rd and S Webb Rd connect the scattered homesteads and ranches of the quadrangle.
