2017 Map of Shoshone

About this map

Shoshone sits at the confluence of desert hydrology and agricultural engineering in this southern Idaho landscape. The town serves as a focal point where the Little Wood River and Big Wood River converge, their waters managed by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure including the Milner Gooding Canal and Lateral C. This reliance on water management is further evidenced by the Sherock Hydro facility and several river features such as Little Drops and Big Drops. To the south, the terrain is defined by the prominent volcanic profile of Notch Butte. The map also traces the historic path of the Wendell-Shoshone Sheep Trl, a route reflecting the region's enduring ranching heritage. Local street grids in Shoshone, including N Rail St W and W A St, reveal the town's structural alignment with the railroad and the river corridor.
