About this map

The settlement of Goshen and the nearby Goshen Cem serve as the focal point for this survey along the border of Bingham and Bonneville counties. The landscape is defined by a complex irrigation network vital to the region's agricultural character, featuring the Snake-River Valley Canal, Highline Canal, and the Idaho Canal. These man-made waterways contrast with the natural flow of the Blackfoot River as it moves toward the southwestern corner of the quadrangle.

Rising above the irrigated plains, The Butte and the Sand Hills provide distinctive topographical landmarks to the north, while the Blackfoot Mountains dominate the eastern reaches. Local history is etched into the terrain through features like Presto Bench and the narrow Rattlesnake Canyon. This survey captures the intricate relationship between the high desert mountains and the engineered water systems that sustain the valley floor.
