2013 Map of Eden

About this map

Eden and Hazelton serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural landscape of Jerome County, defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure. The map reveals the critical role of water management in the region, featuring an extensive system of waterways including the Twin Falls Main Canal, C Canal, and numerous laterals like Lateral C-32 and Lateral C-17 that weave through the grid of rural roads. To the south, the Snake River carves a deep canyon that forms the boundary with Twin Falls County, contrasting sharply with the engineered plains above. High points like Skeleton Butte and Hansen Butte provide natural landmarks amidst the fields, while the Wilson Lake Reservoir in the northeast and the Hazelton Municipal Airport highlight the intersection of recreation, transport, and resource management. This survey documents the modern irrigation economy, showing how drains such as Goose Lake-Drain and Eden Drain maintain the productivity of the desert soil.
