About this map

The Snake River winds through the northeast corner of this Cassia County landscape, where the Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge provides a protected corridor along the water. In the southeastern portion of the map, the Raft River meanders toward its confluence, flanked by agricultural lands and a grid of local roads. The terrain is characterized by the expansive Idaho steppe, organized by early surveying markers such as the Baseline and township boundaries like t10s r27e.

Transportation through the region is anchored by the corridor of Interstate 86 and US Highway 30, which run parallel across the northern sections. Below the highways, the landscape transitions into a more rural grid where local routes like Yale Rd and Hisaw Ln connect remote homesteads and grazing lands. This survey captures the modern intersection of irrigation-fed agriculture and the high-desert environment before the Raft River joins the Snake.
