About this map

The high desert landscape of Ada County south of Boise reveals a complex network of twentieth-century water management and modern aviation facilities. The community of Kuna and the settlement of Mora are defined by the passage of major irrigation infrastructure, including the New York Canal, Kuna Canal, and Mora Canal. This artificial hydrography overlays the natural drainage of Indian Cr and Sand Cr, illustrating the intensive effort to transform the arid sagebrush steppe into productive land.

Private aviation is a notable feature of this rural landscape, with Black's Airfield and Larkin Airport situated between agricultural blocks. The map also records a blend of old and new nomenclature, from established routes like Barker Rd and S Cloverdale Rd to more recent residential developments marked by unique labels such as Lost Horse Ln, Cow Horse Dr, and Dynamite Ln, showing the gradual expansion of local homesteads and hobby farms.
