About this map

The Raft River Valley in southern Idaho defines this landscape, where the Raft River meanders north through a vast expanse of agricultural and industrial infrastructure. Photogrammetric surveys from the late 1960s reveal a network of utility and transport, including a prominent Pipeline and the Idahome Road cutting across the valley floor. The map highlights the intensive resource management of the era, documented by numerous irrigation wells and several extraction sites such as a Sandpit and various Borrow Pits. Water management is further evidenced by a Substation and the confluence of seasonal flows from Warm Creek and Shirley Creek. These features illustrate the mid-century development of Cassia County, balancing livestock fencing with the growing needs of regional power and water distribution.
