About this map

Sheep Ridge dominates the central landscape of this section of Payette County, where a complex network of man-made waterways supports the region's agricultural interests. The northern portion of the map is defined by irrigation infrastructure, including the Bolton Canal, Mcintyre Canal, and Patton Canal, which draw from Little Willow Creek. These canals navigate a terrain deeply etched by numerous drainages such as Mcintyre Gulch and Clair Rose Gulch.

To the south, the topography transitions toward Big Willow Creek, accessed by Big Willow Rd. This area reveals the intersection of natural watercourses and historical land use, with features like Stone Quarry Gulch and Stone Quarry Rd suggesting the local extraction of resources. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and township boundaries, including t9n r3w and t8n r3w, which help orient researchers and genealogists looking for family-held land parcels in this rural Idaho landscape.
