2020 Map of Ririe

About this map

The Snake River carves a diagonal path through this agricultural landscape, where an intricate web of irrigation defines the local economy and settlement patterns. The town of Ririe anchors the southeastern corner near the Enterprise Canal, while smaller communities like Lyman, Archer, and Sunnydell are scattered across the plains. A complex system of waterways, including the Liberty Park Canal, Clark Edwards Canal, and the Reid Canal, demonstrates the heavy reliance on water management for the region's farms. Notable for genealogists, the Sutton Cem is situated near the northern reach of the river. The map also captures several distinct sloughs and secondary channels, such as Spring Slough and Texas Slough, which branch from the main river corridor near Lorenzo. This network of ditches and canals, like the Farmers Friend Canal and Sidehill Ditch, illustrates the engineering required to sustain these communities.
