About this map

The Snake River and Blackfoot River converge in this agricultural region of Bingham County, where a complex network of man-made waterways sustains the high desert landscape. The intricate irrigation system is defined by major works like the Peoples Canal, Aberdeen Springfield Canal, and Danskin Canal, which weave between small farming communities. These settlements, including Moreland, Riverside, and Groveland, are connected by a rigid grid of rural roads such as W Taber Rd and Perkes Rd.

Genealogists can find several historic burial sites throughout the quadrangle, from the Moreland Cem and Groveland Cem to the Thomas Riverside Cem and Gibson Cem near the southern boundary. The presence of the Russell W Anderson Strip Airport and the Riverton Access Area highlights the dual nature of the area as both a working landscape and a gateway for local recreation and transportation. The southern edge is anchored by the prominent rise of Ferry Butte, a distinctive landmark overlooking the river bottomlands.
