About this map

Richfield serves as the primary hub in this southern Idaho landscape, where the grid of the town site meets the meandering path of the Little Wood River. The region's agricultural character is defined by a sophisticated irrigation network, with the West Main Canal, East Main Canal, and Dietrich Main Canal cutting across the high desert to transform the volcanic terrain into productive land. This water management system is further detailed by features like Jim Byrns Slough and Cottonwood Slough, which trace the natural drainage patterns of the valley.

Transportation and infrastructure are concentrated around the settlement, anchored by Reynolds Airport just to the southwest. To the north, the prominent rise of Johnson Butte provides a natural landmark overlooking a systematic grid of section roads, including 4 Mile Ranch Rd and Marley Rd. The map illustrates the 2010 state of rural development, showing how habitation and transit corridors remained closely tied to the life-giving waters of the canal system.
