2010 Map of Goshen

About this map

The Goshen settlement area is defined by its complex agricultural water management system, where the high desert terrain meets the fertility of the Blackfoot River basin. Extensive irrigation infrastructure, including the Idaho Canal, Highline Canal, and Just Canal, demonstrates the engineering required to support ranching and farming in this part of Bingham County. The landscape is punctuated by distinct geological landmarks like The Butte in the northwest and the carved depths of Wolverine Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon to the southeast. Local transport follows a strict grid pattern with routes like Wolverine Rd and Reid Rd connecting scattered homesteads and the small community of Cox. The presence of the East Branch Snake River Valley Canal and Little Indian Ditch further illustrates the dense network of water rights and distribution that has shaped the local economy since the early twentieth century.
