About this map

The American Falls Reservoir defines the northwest corner of this landscape, where the waters of the Portneuf River and Ross Fork converge. The terrain transitions from the open expanses of Michaud Flats to the growing urban corridors of Pocatello and Chubbuck in the southeast. This 2013 survey illustrates a complex water management system essential to the Snake River Plain, featuring an intricate network of irrigation channels including the Taghee Canal, DuBois Lateral, and Tyhee Lateral.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is anchored by the Pocatello Regional Airport and the historical site of Michaud. Local history is embedded in the road names and small settlements, from the northern reach of Fort Hall down to the southern heights of Arbon Valley. Significant natural features such as Batiste Springs and Michaud Cr underscore the area's hydrology, while the boundary between Bannock Co and Power Co bisects the western sections.
