2013 Map of Sand Hollow

About this map

Emmett Valley provides the topographic backdrop for this 2013 survey, where the intersection of Payette County, Gem County, and Canyon County defines the local geography. The landscape is characterized by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the region's agricultural character, including the Black Canyon Canal, Farmers Cooperative Canal, and the Sand Hollow Wasteway. Small settlements and named locales like Sand Hollow, Jenness, and Amsco are connected by a grid of rural roads such as Emmett Road and Oasis Road. The terrain is marked by several prominent drainages, notably Conway Gulch and Sand Run Gulch, which channel water toward the lower elevations. These features reflect the 21st-century management of water and land across these three Idaho counties, showing the persistent reliance on canal systems to sustain the valley's development.
