2017 Map of Malta

About this map

The Raft River meanders through the broad Raft River Valley in this 2017 study of southern Idaho's high desert agriculture. The small community of Malta serves as the focal point, situated near the confluence of Cassia Cr and the main river channel. Local history is etched into the landscape through family-named thoroughfares and rural infrastructure, including Tilfer Rd, Wake Rd, and Sublett Rd. The grid of township and range lines, such as t12s r27e, organizes the vast agricultural tracts that define the region's economy. Notable for genealogists is the Malta Cem, located just east of the town center. The map also traces southern watercourses like Meadow Cr, illustrating the vital relationship between the valley's drainage patterns and its long-standing ranching and farming operations.
