2010 Map of Idaho Falls North

About this map

The Snake River anchors this 2010 study of the northern reaches of Idaho Falls, where industrial water management and agricultural infrastructure define the landscape. The river is harnessed by the Upper Idaho Falls Number One Dam and Upper Idaho Falls Number Two Dam, feeding an intricate network of irrigation systems including the Great Western Canal, Harrison Canal, and Idaho Canal. These waterways supported the development of small rural communities such as Coltman, Osgood, and Payne. Near the urban edge, the Saint Leon Grange and Pinecrest Municipal Golf Course sit among the structured grid of rural roads. The proximity of Fanning Field to the river's path illustrates the historical convergence of transportation and water power in the Upper Snake River Valley, providing a clear record of how the region's early settlements like Orvin transitioned into the modern era.
