2020 Map of Rose

About this map

Rising River and the agricultural settlements of Rose and McDonaldville occupy this corner of the Snake River Valley in Bingham County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure essential to Idaho's high-desert farming, featuring major conduits like the Aberdeen Springfield Canal and the Peoples Canal. These man-made waterways crisscross the plains alongside the Snake River, which winds through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Local road systems follow the rigid township and range lines, including Morgans Pasture Rd and Rising River Rd, anchoring the rural character of the area. Significant smaller ditches, such as the Weggland Ditch and New Lavaside Ditch, illustrate the fine-grained water management required to support the local homesteads and pastures.
