About this map

Milner and its surrounding agricultural landscape are defined by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure along the Snake River at the junction of Jerome, Twin Falls, and Cassia counties. This high-desert terrain is dominated by the prominent elevation of Hazelton Butte, which serves as a landmark above a grid of rural roads and water delivery systems. The map traces the vital role of water management in the region, featuring major arteries like the North Side Main Canal, Milner Gooding Canal, and Twin Falls Main Canal, which divert water from Milner Lake to support local farming.

Small settlements and community nodes such as Greenwood and McHenry are situated near the modern interstate corridor, while the Milner Cem preserves the area's genealogical history near the riverbanks. The density of lateral canals, including Lateral C-54 and Lateral PA, illustrates the intensive land use required to transform this arid environment into productive acreage. These features provide a clear record of how 21st-century engineering continues to shape the settlement patterns of southern Idaho.
