About this map

New Plymouth serves as the focal point of this irrigation-shaped landscape in the Lower Payette Valley. This particular layout is notable for its horseshoe-shaped boulevard system, including SW Boulevard and SE Boulevard, which differentiates it from the typical grid iron patterns of neighboring Western towns. The surrounding area is defined by an extensive network of water management, where the Payette River feeds essential arteries like the Noble Canal, Farmers Cooperative Canal, and the A Line Canal.

To the south and east, the terrain transitions into a more dissected landscape characterized by drainage features such as Hurd Gulch, Langley Gulch, and Graveyard Gulch. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds including Parkview Cem and Kennedy Cem, while the Blacks Bridge Access Area near Birding Island indicates the importance of river access for the local community. The map also records rural intersections such as Hamilton Corner, providing a detailed view of the rural-to-town transition in Payette County.
