2020 Map of Norland

About this map

Adelaide and Norland sit within a strictly surveyed grid of agricultural land along the border of Lincoln Co and Minidoka Co. This region of southern Idaho is defined by its rectilinear road network, where routes like 1600 North Rd and Meridian Rd divide the landscape into precise sections. The settlement pattern here reflects the intensive irrigation and land management of the Snake River Plain, where small clusters of development like Adelaide emerged to serve the surrounding farmsteads. To the south, Crystal Rd cuts through the terrain, while further north, 1200 North Rd connects the scattered rural residences. The map provides a clear look at the township and range system in action, showing how the desert was partitioned for agriculture.
