2013 Map of Lake Lowell

About this map

Lake Lowell dominates this Canyon County landscape, its waters contained by a sophisticated network of embankments and an intricate irrigation system. The 2013 survey illustrates the agricultural foundations of the region, defined by the Deer Flat High Line Canal, Phyllis Canal, and Mora Canal, which distribute water across the Boise Valley. Small communities and landmarks like Underkoflers Corner and the Sage Acres Race Track sit just north of the water, while the southern shore remains more open, featuring the Sky Ranch North Airport and the Historical Trail. The infrastructure here, including the Forest Pipeline and numerous named laterals like the N Robinson Lateral, reflects over a century of water management essential for high-desert farming. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by features such as Hillcrest Memorial Gardens and the residential stretches of Lower Deer Flat, showing how the land has transitioned between intensive agriculture and rural development.
