1951 Map of Menan Buttes

About this map

Menan Buttes rise sharply above the alluvial plains at the confluence of the Snake River and Henrys Fork in this 1951 study. The landscape is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation works, including the Egin Canal, Rexburg Canal, and St Anthony Canal, which transformed the volcanic terrain into productive agricultural land. These water systems parallel the course of natural features like Texas Slough and Cartier Slough.
