About this map

Sugar City and the surrounding agricultural plains of Madison County define this landscape, where the South Teton River and its various distributaries have shaped the local economy and settlement patterns. The map highlights a complex irrigation network essential to the region's high-altitude farming, featuring the Teton Island Canal, City of Rexburg Ditch, and Woodmansee Johnson Canal. These water systems weave through a grid of rural roads, connecting small historical communities such as Parkinson, Walker, and Gale.

The eastern portion of the quadrangle transitions into more varied topography, rising toward Sommers Butte and Webster Butte. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Sugar City Cem and Teton Cem, providing specific locations for researchers tracing early Idaho families. This survey offers a detailed view of the interplay between the local hydraulic infrastructure and the scattered rural hamlets of Moody and its neighbors during the early twenty-first century.
