About this map

The town of Ririe anchors this 2017 landscape, where the high desert terrain of eastern Idaho meets an intricate network of irrigation systems essential to local agriculture. A complex lattice of waterways, including the Farmers Friend Canal, S Br Harrison Canal, and Anderson Canal, underscores the region's reliance on managed water to support the valley's farms. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into more dramatic elevations surrounding the Ririe Reservoir, a significant modern landmark that reshaped the hydrology of the area.

Local history and genealogy researchers can find several notable markers of settlement and community. The Milo Cem and Ririe Cem are clearly indicated, providing points of reference for those tracing family roots in Jefferson and Bonneville Counties. The map also detail the rural road network, with thoroughfares like Bone Rd and E Foothill Rd threading through the varying topography, connecting the isolated homesteads and farmland of the Rigby SE quadrangle.
