About this map

Snake River waters define the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the Minidoka and Cassia county lines meet. The terrain is characterized by an extensive irrigation network supporting the agricultural lands around Declo. This complex system of water management includes the Main South Side Canal, the Gravity Canal, and numerous lateral branches such as the B 1 Lateral and H Lateral. These man-made waterways contrast with the natural drainage of Marsh Creek, which flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle.

The East Hills rise to the south, providing a topographic backdrop to the flat, canal-fed plains. Local transportation and land use are evidenced by named corridors like Woods Ranch Rd and Six S Ranch Rd, while the State Hwy 81 Byp provides a modern bypass around the settlement of Declo. The map reveals the intricate engineering required to cultivate this part of Idaho, from the Declo Drain to the specialized B-Feeder.
