2017 Map of Mud Lake SE

About this map

Holly Canal and Jackett Canal cut through this southeastern corner of the Mud Lake basin, illustrating the critical role of water management in the high desert of Jefferson County. The landscape is defined by a strictly organized grid of agricultural roads and irrigation infrastructure, reflecting the modern evolution of the Snake River Plain's reclamation projects. Significant transportation corridors, such as Twin Butte Sage Junction Rd and Roberts Rd, anchor the southern half of the map, while the northern sections are divided by family-named routes like Koefoed Rd and Linderman Rd. The terrain remains largely open, characterized by subtle elevation changes and the distinctive section-line patterns of the Public Land Survey System that have dictated settlement and land use in this part of Idaho for generations.
