About this map

The Raft River Valley landscape in Cassia County is defined by its characteristic high-desert hydrology and the persistent grid of the Public Land Survey System. The Raft River itself winds through the western portion of this quadrangle, flanked by seasonal drainage such as Warm Creek. This 2017 survey shows how the historic agricultural and ranching corridors of the region are maintained through a structured network of section-line roads, including Idahome Rd and 800 S Rd. The spatial organization here reflects the late-century evolution of rural Idaho, where large-scale land management and irrigation needs dictate the placement of transportation routes like 1000 S and 300 Rd S across the valley floor.
