About this map

Hub Butte rises above an agricultural landscape defined by its complex irrigation infrastructure in this 2017 study of Twin Falls County. The region is crisscrossed by an extensive network of waterways, including the High Line North Canal, Low Line Canal, and Main Canal, which support the local farming economy. These engineered channels cut across natural drainage features such as Cottonwood Cr, Rock Cr, and the northern Deadmans Gulch.

In the northwestern corner, Joslin Field - Magic Valley Regional Airport serves as a modern transport hub, its runways situated near the intersection of the gridded road network and several laterals like Lateral Number 17. The map illustrates the geometric precision of the High Desert irrigation system, where water is diverted through a series of named canals and smaller ditches to transform the arid terrain of southern Idaho into productive land.
