About this map

Preston and Franklin anchor this 2010 landscape of southern Idaho, where a network of irrigation and water management defines the agricultural character of the valley. The map reveals an intricate system of canals and ditches, including Middle Ditch, Cub Canal, and East Canal, which draw from the Cub River and its tributaries like Maple Creek. This water infrastructure supports several small settlements and community hubs such as Whitney, Nashville, and Egypt. Highlighting the area's rural history, several family-named landmarks and water-control features are present, including Le Fevre Dam, Van Orden Dam, and Morrison Dam.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites through numerous burial grounds, specifically Preston Cemetery, Whitney Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and Franklin Cemetery. The topography transitions from the valley floor up toward Little Mountain and Big Hill, while the road network, featuring names like Sugar Factory Rd and Ranch Loop RD, reflects the region's industrial and agricultural past.
