About this map

The Snake River carves a deep canyon through this landscape, marking the boundary between Gooding Co and Twin Falls Co. The 1970s terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management system, where the river's power and spring-fed resources support numerous aquaculture and irrigation facilities. Distinctive natural outlets like Niagara Springs and Crystal Springs emerge from the canyon walls, feeding a series of both public and private Fish Hatchery sites.

Agricultural and industrial infrastructure lines the higher ground, including the Grange Hall and a Substation situated along the Bob Barton Highway. Evidence of the region's transport and extractive history is visible in the Union Pacific rail line and various Gravel Pits. The map also documents hydrologic controls such as a Diversion Dam and a Gaging Sta, essential for monitoring the river's flow near Cedar Draw.
