2017 Map of Kimama

About this map

Kimama sits at the center of this high desert landscape, positioned along a prominent corridor of road and rail infrastructure that cuts diagonally across the Snake River Plain. The terrain is defined by its volcanic geology and agricultural engineering, most notably the distinct circular landform of The Crater and the presence of the Schrike Reservoir to the west. This 2017 survey reveals the intricate grid of the Public Land Survey System, which governs the placement of long, straight thoroughfares such as E Senter Rd and Carey Kimama Rd. Irrigation and water management are central to the region's utility, evidenced by the F Main Drain passing through the southern sections. This map documents a sparsely populated but highly organized territory where the boundary between Lincoln and Minidoka counties meets a strictly regimented landscape of section lines and gravel roads.
