About this map

Henrys Fork and the Teton River converge in this fertile agricultural pocket of eastern Idaho, where an intricate network of man-made waterways supports the regional economy. The landscape is defined by the sophisticated irrigation infrastructure of the Snake River Plain, featuring the Saint Anthony Canal, Consolidated Farmers Canal, and the Independent Canal. These systems allowed for the growth of communities like Parker, Sugar City, and Egin within the boundary between Madison County and Fremont County.

Evidence of the area's pioneer heritage is visible in the settlement patterns at Heman and the Egin Bench, where the grid-work of rural roads like Fort Henry Loop and Red Rd navigates around natural features such as Davis Lake and the Warm Slough. The map documents the persistent relationship between the river systems and the agricultural development of the region, anchored by the proximity of the neighboring towns.
