About this map

The Union Pacific rail line cuts a straight path across this agricultural landscape on the border of Lincoln and Minidoka counties. Small railroad settlements like Adelaide and Norland anchor the corridor, serving as local collection points for the region's produce. The infrastructure of 1970s Idaho farming is evident in the numerous labeled storage facilities, including Storage Bins scattered along the grid-like road network of 1500 North Road and 1300 N Rd.

Water management is central to this high desert terrain, marked by an extensive system of wells and the prominent Main Drain. Industrial development is noted near the town sites, specifically the Industrial Waste Pond and the Glawson Substation. Aviation and transport are represented by a localized Landing Strip and a nearby Trailer Park, while a small Cem stands as a quiet genealogical marker for the early families of the Snake River Plain.
