About this map

American Falls Reservoir dominates the northwestern horizon of this landscape, its fluctuating shoreline meeting the edge of Michaud Flats. This region of southeastern Idaho is defined by its sophisticated water management system, illustrated by a complex network of irrigation channels including the Taghee Canal, Tyhee Lateral, and DuBois Lateral. These waterways support the agricultural character of the land, visible in landmarks like the S O D Farm Rd.

Transport and transit infrastructure intersect here, with the Pocatello Regional Airport and E County Hwy facilitating movement across the plain. Cultural and historical sites are anchored by the Indian Cemetery near the Portneuf River, while small settlements such as Michaud and Don mark the path of development along the eastern edges of the reservoir. The hydrology of the area is further shaped by Michaud Creek and the flow from Batiste Springs, illustrating the vital connection between the river system and the local economy.
