2024 Map of Murtaugh

About this map

Murtaugh and Artesian City anchor a landscape defined by the intricate water management systems of the Snake River Plain. The northern reaches of the map show the Snake River winding near the border of Jerome and Twin Falls counties, feeding into the massive agricultural infrastructure of the Twin Falls Main Canal and Milner Main Canal. These waterways transform the high desert into a productive grid of farm roads and fields, punctuated by local landmarks like Hansen Butte and the broad waters of Murtaugh Lake. Further south, the terrain transitions into the more varied topography surrounding Cold Spring Creek and the foothills below the southern county line. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for the Artesian City Cem and Bower Cem, offering essential grounding for genealogical study within this rural Idaho community.
