2017 Map of Meridian

About this map

Meridian and Kuna anchor this 2017 landscape in Ada County, where a complex network of man-made waterways supports the region's agricultural and residential development. The map reveals an intricate hydraulic system, featuring the Ridenbaugh Canal, Mason Creek, and numerous irrigation ditches like the Calkins Lateral and Farr Lateral. These watercourses traverse the grid-based settlement patterns between the eastern edge of Nampa and the growing suburban corridors of Meridian. Local history is grounded in specific sites such as the Meridian Cemetery and the small settlement of Sonna along the railroad corridor. The terrain is further defined by natural drainage features like Tenmile Creek and Indian Creek, which illustrate the relationship between the natural Boise River valley hydrology and the engineered irrigation infrastructure that has long defined the Treasure Valley.
