About this map

Idaho Falls serves as the urban anchor in this 2013 survey, where the residential grids of the city transition into the industrial and agricultural landscape of the Snake River Valley. The region’s reliance on water is evidenced by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Great Western Canal, Porter Canal, and Idaho Canal, which draw from the Snake River to support the surrounding farmland. The Union Pacific rail line runs parallel to the river, connecting the city to outlying communities like Shelley and Cotton.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds, such as Rose Hill Cem and the New Sweden Cem, which reflect the early settlement patterns of the area. The map also captures specialized landmarks like the Sandy Downs Rodeo Grounds and the Gem State Access Area, illustrating the intersection of traditional western industry and modern recreation along the Bingham and Bonneville county line.
