2010 Map of Hammett

About this map

Hammett stands as the primary settlement in this Elmore County landscape, where irrigation infrastructure like the King Hill Main Canal transformed the arid terrain along the Snake River. The map documents a critical transportation corridor, showing the alignment of Old Highway 30 alongside modern interstate developments. Historically significant river crossings are noted, specifically the site of Medbury Ferry near Sparlin Island. The area's hydrology is defined by the braided path of the river, featuring substantial landforms like Schoffs Island, and a network of seasonal drainages including Bennett Creek, Cold Springs Creek, and Sailor Creek. Local transit is characterized by winding routes such as Wilson Grade, which navigates the elevation changes south of the river, and agricultural access roads like S Humphreys Rd and W Spangler Rd that serve the rural valley floor.
