About this map

Agricultural development and irrigation systems dominate this southern Idaho landscape, where the settlements of Beetville and Pella reflect the region's sugar beet farming heritage. The map details an intricate network of water management, including the J Canal, H Canal, and dozens of numbered laterals like J 27 Lateral and J 32 Lateral that distribute water across the Cassia County plains. These man-made channels run alongside natural waterways such as Goose Creek and Morgan Drain.

Evidence of the area's logistical history is found at Pella Siding, a railroad point supporting the local agricultural economy. The small community of Kenyon and its counterpart North Kenyon anchor the southern portion of the sheet, connected by Id-27 as it cuts diagonally through the townships. For those researching local families, the Pella Ward Cemetery is a significant landmark near the intersection of W 400 S and Poplar Dr.
