About this map

The borderlands between Lincoln and Jerome counties define this agricultural landscape, dominated by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure essential to Idaho's Magic Valley. Principal arteries like the X Canal and S Canal feed an intricate grid of secondary watercourses, including Lateral R-14 and Lateral U-10, which trace the section lines and natural contours of the high desert. The survey captures the precision of the Public Land Survey System, where roads such as McKay Ln and E 500 N follow the rigid township and range boundaries of t7s r16e and t7s r17e. This 2013 snapshot reflects the modern era of water management, showing how the distribution of water through smaller channels like Lateral W-1 and Lateral J-1 dictates the settlement and road patterns across this productive portion of southern Idaho.
