About this map

The Boise River winds toward its confluence with the Snake River at the Idaho-Oregon border, defining the agricultural landscape around Parma. This irrigation-dependent region is intricately mapped with a dense network of water management features, including the Farmers Cooperative Sebree Canal and the Parma Canal. These waterways sustain the productive valley floor, which is punctuated by river features like Mcconnel Island and Bridge Island.

Settlement patterns center on the town of Parma, where the street grid and Parma Airport are clearly delineated. For those tracing local history or family roots, the map identifies specific points of interest such as the Parma Cem and the Lower Boise Cem to the southeast. The transition from the irrigated lowlands to the higher ground of Homestead Gulch in the northeast illustrates the sharp divide between the lush river valley and the arid surrounding terrain.
