2020 Map of Moreland

About this map

The Snake River and Blackfoot River converge in this agricultural region of Bingham County, creating a complex landscape of natural waterways and human engineering. An extensive network of irrigation features, including the Aberdeen Springfield Canal, Peoples Canal, and Watson Slough, supports the surrounding fields and settlements. The community of Moreland sits at the heart of this grid, flanked by smaller hamlets like Aiken, Clarkson, and Aberdeen Junction. Local genealogy is well-supported by the presence of several established burial grounds, such as Moreland Cem and Groveland Cem, while the Russell W Anderson Strip provides a specific landmark of local aviation. The intricate system of ditches and laterals, like the Neva Lateral and Arch Lateral, illustrates the long-standing reliance on water management to sustain the Eastern Idaho high desert plateau.
