About this map

The Boise River carves a path through this agricultural landscape, anchoring the northern settlements of Notus and Bowman Ranch. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of irrigation engineering, where large-scale projects like the Farmers Cooperative Sebree Canal and Golden Gate Canal divert water across the plains to support local farms. This reliance on water management is further evidenced by the numerous drains and laterals, such as Greenleaf Drain and Mumford Lateral, which crisscross the grid-patterned fields surrounding Greenleaf.

Cultural and community landmarks are concentrated near the intersection of the primary irrigation arteries and local roads. Genealogists and local historians can find Pleasant Ridge Cemetery and the Pleasant Ridge Grange situated toward the south, while small rural clusters like Allendale, Doles, and Weitz serve as markers of the area's development. Aviation history is also represented on the sheet with Frank Field and the Davison Ranch Airport, reflecting the importance of private air travel in this farming region.
