2020 Map of Parker

About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Egin Bench dominates this portion of the Snake River Plain, where an intricate network of irrigation systems supports the local farming economy. Small agrarian settlements including Heman, Egin, Salem, and the larger Parker and Sugar City are connected by a grid of rural roads and canals. The Teton River flows through the southern section of the quadrangle, fed by a complex system of waterways such as the Consolidated Farmers Canal and the Island Ward Canal. To the north, the terrain transitions toward the South Junipers, where the landscape becomes more varied with features like Davis Lake and the Egin Lakes. This map documents the essential relationship between water management and settlement patterns in eastern Idaho, showing how canals like the Saint Anthony Canal have historically shaped the development of these communities.
