About this map

The irrigation network of the Payette and Canyon County border area defines this mid-1960s landscape, where complex water engineering supports high-desert agriculture. The Black Canyon Canal and its associated Aqueduct dominate the eastern terrain, feeding a web of local distributaries including the Farmers Cooperative Canal and the Sebree Canal. This reliance on managed water is evident in the transition from the dry Homestead Gulch in the north to the cultivated fields of the south.

Local navigation centers on the intersection at Rookstool Corner and the primary Market Road. The introduction of the 80n highway, featuring the Black Canyon Interchange and Sand Hollow Interchange, signals the modernization of transport through this agricultural corridor. This survey documents the specific placement of siphons and lateral canals like the Notus Canal and D-Line Canal during a period of significant rural infrastructure development.
