2013 Map of Downey West

About this map

Marsh Valley dominates this Idaho landscape, where the agricultural flats meet the rising slopes of the Caribou National Forest. The settlement of Virginia sits near the northern edge, while Downey anchors the southeast, connected by the corridor of S Highway 91 and modern transit lines. The local water management is evident through the Portneuf Marsh Valley Canal and the Wiregrass Reservoir, which includes a designated Wiregrass Reservoir Access Area. To the west, the terrain becomes more complex as the valley floor gives way to Mines Canyon and Rowley Canyon. Genealogists and local historians can find Woodland Cem positioned centrally between the hills and the valley floor, a quiet landmark amidst the grid of rural roads like W Chicken Flats Rd and Mines Canyon Rd.
