About this map

Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge dominates this landscape, centered on the massive waters of Lake Lowell. The area is defined by a sophisticated irrigation network vital to the High Desert's agriculture, featuring the Phyllis Canal, Notus Canal, and Mora Canal, alongside numerous drains like the Dixie Drain and Wilson Drain. This water management system supports the University of Idaho Agricultural Experimental Sta and various farms surrounding the lake embankments.

Local life is anchored by rural landmarks such as Lake Lowell School, Lakeview School, and Maple Grove School. Unique place names like Death Corner and Underkoflers Corner provide character to the road network, which includes Homedale Road and Karcher Road. To the northwest, the Sage Acres Race Track sits near the Lower Deer Flat terrain, while Gotts Point and the Big Tower mark the eastern shoreline near the Hillcrest Memorial Gardens.
