About this map

Preston and Franklin anchor this portion of southeastern Idaho, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation canals and natural watercourses. The presence of the Upper Canal, Middle Ditch, Cub Canal, and Lower Canal highlights the region's agricultural foundations, feeding from the Cub River and Worm Creek. These systems support a string of small communities and crossroads including Whitney, Nashville, and Egypt.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant data in the distribution of regional burial grounds, such as Preston Cemetery and Franklin Cemetery. The topography transitions from the valley floor near Cherryville Flat toward prominent elevations like Little Mountain and Big Hill. Significant infrastructure is also noted, including the Foster Reservoir Access Area and the long corridor of US-91, which serves as the primary artery connecting these historic settlements.
