About this map

The Boise River carves through the center of this landscape, its path defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and drainage channels essential to local agriculture. The settlement of Middleton occupies the northwest, where the North Middleton Drain and South Middleton Drain manage the water table. To the south, the community of Maddens sits near the Caldwell High Line Canal, illustrating how 20th-century water engineering reshaped the high desert into productive farmland.

Industrial and recreational footprints are evident at the Franklin Labor Camp and the Jump West Parachute Center Airport in the northeast. Water management features like Phyllis Slough, the Canyon Canal, and Ninemile Creek dominate the terrain, reflecting the area's reliance on the river. Notable landmarks such as McIntyre Hill and Lanktree Gulch provide elevation markers in a territory otherwise defined by the steady flow of the Middleton Canal and various laterals serving the valley's rural homesteads.
