About this map

The Snake River carves a winding path through this corner of the Upper Snake River Valley, defining a landscape dominated by an intricate network of irrigation systems. Settlements like Lewisville and Roberts are connected by a web of historic canals, including the Butte Market Lake Canal and the Great Western Canal, which transformed this arid volcanic plain into productive farmland. The terrain is largely level, broken only by the distinct volcanic elevations of the Lewisville Knolls.

Genealogists and local historians can locate community centers like Grant, Bassett, and Menan, along with significant burial sites such as Lewisville Cem and Central Cem. The map detail traces the legacy of early water rights and settlement patterns, from the Dry Bed of the river to the numerous named canals like the Missionary Canal and Long Island Canal that continue to serve the region's agricultural interests.
