About this map

The Payette River meanders across the northern portion of this landscape, anchoring the fertile Lower Payette Valley where irrigation systems define the local economy. The town of New Plymouth is the primary hub, laid out with its distinct street grid near the Noble Canal and Farmers Cooperative Canal. This complex network of waterways, including the A Line Canal and B Lateral, illustrates the extensive engineering required to support agriculture in this region of southwestern Idaho.

To the south and east, the terrain rises into more broken country characterized by numerous drainages such as Langley Gulch, Hurd Gulch, and Graveyard Gulch. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated near the river and the town, where Parkview Cem and Kennedy Cem serve the community. Landmarks like Birding Island and The Bluffs provide geographical context to the river’s course before it passes Hamilton Corner.
