About this map

Beetville and Pella anchor this rural landscape in southern Idaho, where a sophisticated network of irrigation channels transformed the arid terrain into productive farmland. The intricate grid of laterals and drains, including the H Canal, J Canal, and Morgan Drain, illustrates the critical role of water management in the region's agricultural development. Settlement patterns follow this grid, with small communities like North Kenyon and Kenyon positioned along the roadway and water routes.

Local heritage is preserved at the Pella Ward Cemetery, while the Pella Siding points to the area's historical reliance on rail for transporting crops. The landscape is also shaped by natural watercourses such as Goose Creek and Big Rocky Creek, which intersect with the man-made infrastructure. Distinctive landmarks like the Savage Ranch Landing Area reflect the modern utility of these open agricultural stretches.
