About this map

Agricultural life in eastern Idaho is defined by the complex irrigation networks visible on this survey, where the Teton River feeds a system of canals essential to the high-desert landscape. The Egin Bench dominates the central portion of the map, providing a raised plateau for farming between the river's path and the northern dunes near Egin Lakes. Small agricultural communities like Parker, Egin, and Heman are connected by a grid of county roads that reflect the late 20th-century expansion of rural settlements.

The presence of the Saint Anthony Canal, the Saint Anthony Union Canal, and the Island Ward Canal illustrates the intensive water management required for the region's potato and grain fields. In the southern reaches, the Salem area and the meandering White Slough mark the transition toward the Madison County line. This map provides a clear record of the relationship between the natural watercourse of the Teton and the man-made infrastructure that sustains the surrounding townships.
