2013 Map of Plano

About this map

Plano and the neighboring settlement of Edmonds anchor this corner of Idaho, where the intersection of Jefferson, Fremont, and Madison counties meets a landscape defined by volcanic landforms and irrigation. The terrain transitions from the higher elevations of Sand Mtn and Ninemile Knoll in the north down to the fertile Egin Bench in the south. This area illustrates the critical role of water management in the region's agricultural history, evidenced by a dense network of waterways including the Saint Anthony Canal, Independent Canal, and Saint Anthony Union Canal. Genealogists will find the Plano Cem located centrally within the settlement. In the southeast, Warm Slough meanders through the lowlands, while Quayles Lake sits near the Fremont and Madison county line, marking a pocket of open water amidst the structured grid of rural roads like Hawgood Crossing Rd.
