2010 Map of Lincoln Creek

About this map

The Lincoln Creek Valley serves as a focal point for this Idaho landscape, where a complex network of water management features defines the local geography. The meandering path of the Blackfoot River is supplemented by numerous irrigation works, including the Reservation Canal, West Branch Snake River Valley Canal, and the East Branch Blackfoot Canal. This sophisticated system of diversions, which also includes the Blackfoot Slough and smaller channels like Taylor Ditch and Hanson Ditch, illustrates the intensive agrarian engineering required to manage water resources in the region.
