2023 Map of Kimama

About this map

Kimama sits at a transition point in the high desert, where a complex grid of rural roads meets the infrastructure of the Magic Valley. The landscape is defined by its agricultural and volcanic geology, most notably the distinct topographic rise of The Crater in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Schrike Reservoir and the engineered channel of the E Main Drain which cut through the sagebrush and lava fields. The map documents the boundary between Lincoln Co and Minidoka Co, following section lines that organize the surrounding ranch and farm territory. Historic transportation routes like Carey Kimama Rd and E Pole Line Rd reflect the enduring connectivity of this high-plateau region in southern Idaho.
