About this map

The Portneuf River winds through the eastern portion of this Idaho landscape, where the urban outskirts of Pocatello and Chubbuck meet the agricultural expanse of the Snake River Plain. The map illustrates a complex network of water management, featuring numerous laterals such as the DuBois Lateral and Tyhee Lateral, alongside the Taghee Canal, which support the surrounding farmland. To the north, the Fort Hall Bottoms border the American Falls Reservoir, a significant geographic feature that shapes the local hydrology and land use patterns.

Infrastructure is central to this area's identity, anchored by the Pocatello Regional Airport and its aviation-themed road names like Beechcraft Ave and Thunderbolt St. Small settlements and named locales including Arbon Valley, Michaud, and Don appear along major transit corridors. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of landmarks like Batiste Springs and the irrigation infrastructure that has long sustained this high-desert community.
