2020 Map of Newdale

About this map

Newdale and Chester anchor this agricultural landscape in the Upper Snake River Valley, where a complex network of man-made waterways supports the regional economy. The intricate irrigation system is defined by features such as the Fall River Canal, Enterprise Canal, and Crosscut Canal, which redirect water from the Fall River and Teton River across the volcanic plains. This modern survey reflects the enduring importance of water rights and land management in Idaho's potato-growing country. Away from the irrigated fields, the terrain rises into the distinctive Hog Hollow area, while local heritage is preserved at the Chester Cem and 800 North. The map traces the transition from the river bottomlands to the elevated benchlands, providing a clear record of the intersection between natural hydrology and the engineering required to sustain these rural communities.
