About this map

The Raft River Valley floor dominates this portion of Cassia County, where the meandering course of the Raft River and its tributary Warm Cr cut through a landscape organized by the Public Land Survey System. Modern transportation is defined by the diagonal path of Interstate 84, which bypasses the older agricultural grid. The naming of Idahome Rd in the southern portion of the quadrangle points toward the nearby site of Idahome, a legacy of the early 20th-century irrigation and railroad dreams in this part of Idaho. The map reveals a strictly regulated territory of range lines and townships, including t11s r27e, where the interplay between natural watercourses and surveyor-straight section roads like 300 Rd S and 800 South Rd illustrates the transition from open range to modern ranching.
