2013 Map of Mora

About this map

The settlement of Mora and the sprawling facility of the Idaho State Correctional Institution anchor this landscape south of Kuna in the early 2010s. The area is defined by a sophisticated water management network, where the New York Canal, Kuna Canal, and Mora Canal weave across the terrain to support local agriculture. This irrigation infrastructure, including the Hubbard Lateral and S Railroad Lateral, transformed the arid high desert into a productive corridor. Small-scale aviation is a distinct characteristic of the region, evidenced by Black's Airfield and Larkin Airport. Natural drainage follows the paths of Indian Cr and Sand Cr, which cut through the township sections. Further east, the community of Pleasant Valley sits amidst a grid of rural roads like Barker Rd and S Cole Rd, illustrating the transition from open range to organized homesteading and institutional use.
