2023 Map of Idaho Falls North

About this map

The Snake River dictates the landscape north of Idaho Falls, where a complex system of historical irrigation infrastructure has transformed the Snake River Valley into a productive agricultural corridor. This modern survey details the intricate network of water transport, including the Great Western Canal, Idaho Canal, and Burgess Canal, which serve the rural communities of Coltman, Osgood, and Payne. The map captures the suburban expansion and industrial footprint of the region, anchored by the Idaho Falls Regional Airport and the residential developments north of the city center. Geographers and local historians can trace how the land is partitioned between established canals like the Owners Mutual Canal and more modern developments near Orvin, reflecting a century of water rights and land management that continues to shape Bonneville County.
