About this map

The Snake River carves a dramatic canyon across this landscape, serving as the boundary between Gooding and Twin Falls counties. The deep gorge is characterized by steep descents like the Clear Lake Grade, Niagara Springs Grade, and Crystal Springs Grade, which connect the elevated plateau to the riverbanks. Along the northern bank, the Niagara Springs and Crystal Springs emerge from the canyon walls, feeding into the Snake River and supporting the Magic Valley National Fish Hatchery.

Irrigation infrastructure dominates the agricultural plains above the canyon, with a systematic network of waterways including the S Canal, J Canal, and various laterals such as Lateral N-10 and Lateral S-22. This modern survey illustrates how water management shapes the region's geography, from the natural flow of Cedar Draw to the engineered paths of the Lateral S-10, while primary thoroughfares like Rex Leland Hwy and Bob Barton Hwy define the rural transport grid.
