About this map

Snake River bends through this high desert landscape, carving a deep corridor that separates the northern plateaus from the southern volcanic features. The map illustrates a complex irrigation network essential to life in the Pasadena Valley, including the King Hill Main Canal, King Hill Lateral, and Basin Lateral. These engineered waterways follow the contours of the land, bringing water from the river and its tributaries like King Hill Creek to the surrounding agricultural flats.

Prominent geographical landmarks define the area, from the elevation of Black Mesa to the distinct depressions of Frog Hollow and Swiss Valley. Historical travel routes are evident in the presence of the Old Oregon Trail Hwy in the south, while numerous natural springs such as Bancroft Springs and Pilgrim Spring indicate the critical water sources that once supported travelers and early settlers in this arid Idaho terrain.
