About this map

Marsh Valley serves as the central corridor for this part of Bannock County, where irrigation and aviation infrastructure meet the rising slopes of the Portneuf Range. The agricultural character of the valley is defined by the Portneuf Marsh-Valley Canal and a grid of rural roads such as S England Rd and S Webb Rd. The town of Downey sits at the heart of this landscape, supported by the Downey (Hyde Memorial) Airport and nearby settlements like Cambridge.

Genealogists will find several distinct burial sites including Marsh Valley Cem and the Grant Ward Cem further south. The transition from the valley floor to the high country is marked by numerous drainages, including Ninemile Cr and Left Hand Fork Marsh Cr. The southern portion of the map features the recreation-focused Downata Hot Springs and the small locality of Zenda, illustrating the varied land use between the mountains and the marshy lowlands.
