2023 Map of Market Lake

About this map

Sage Junction serves as a focal point for this high-desert portion of Jefferson County, where modern highway routes intersect against a backdrop of historic irrigation infrastructure. The landscape is defined by its water management systems, notably the Bell Larsen Canal and Robison Canal, which channel resources through the arid terrain. To the east, the Market Lake Slough provides a stark contrast to the surrounding agricultural grid, indicating the complex hydrology of the Snake River Plain. Geologic features like Mollys Nipple rise above the basin, while the settlement of Hawgood and the corridor of Old Hwy 91 reflect the region's long-standing role as a transit path through eastern Idaho.
