About this map

Menan Buttes dominate this Idaho landscape where the Snake River and Henrys Fork converge in a complex network of waterways. This 2013 survey reveals an intricate irrigation system managed by the Saint Anthony and Independent Canal, alongside the Rexburg Canal and Liberty Park Canal. These canals trace the volcanic terrain and the broad Egin Bench, supporting the agricultural life of Madison Co and Jefferson Co.

Family history and local lore are preserved at the Beaver Dick Cem near the riverbanks. The map also details numerous sloughs such as Texas Slough, Bannock Jim Slough, and Millward Slough, which weave between Big Island and Little Island. These features illustrate how the natural hydrology of the South Teton River has been extensively modified by human engineering to support the region's ranching and farming operations.
