About this map

Hub Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of the Snake River Plain, where the engineered landscape of Idaho agriculture is on full display. The region is defined by a sophisticated irrigation network, featuring the High Line North Canal, Low Line Canal, and Main Canal which distribute water across the grid-patterned fields of Twin Falls County. These artificial waterways contrast with the natural drainages of Rock Creek and the multiple branches of Cottonwood Creek that carve through the terrain.

Modern infrastructure is anchored by the Twin Falls Airport in the northwest, serving as a regional hub for transportation. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, water management is further evidenced by the McMullen Creek Dam, which regulates McMullen Creek before it flows north. The presence of Deadmans Gulch and Perrine Coulee highlights the local topography, showing how natural erosional features intersect with the human-made agricultural grid of the early 21st century.
