2020 Map of Northeast Emmett

About this map

Black Canyon Reservoir anchors this landscape in the Emmett Valley, where the managed waters of the Payette River meet the rising high country of Squaw Butte. The irrigation infrastructure central to local life is meticulously detailed, showing the Farmers Cooperative Canal, East Chance Canal, and the Black Canyon Canal as they distribute water from the canyon. In the southern portion of the map, the city of Emmett serves as the regional hub, housing the Gem County Courthouse and overlooking river features like Fuller Island and Ross Island. North of the river, the terrain transitions into a complex series of drainages, including Cherry Gulch, Kingman Gulch, and Shellrock Canyon. The small community of Plaza is situated near the reservoir, providing a focal point for the rural road network that includes Frozen Dog Rd and Van Deusen Rd.
