2020 Map of Shoshone

About this map

Shoshone sits at the convergence of vital Idaho water systems and transport routes, serving as a hub for the surrounding volcanic plains. The town is anchored by the Lincoln County Courthouse, with its street grid strictly aligned to the rail line, including N Rail St W and N Greenwood St. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrography of the Big Wood River and the Little Wood River, which are diverted and managed via the Milner Gooding Canal and systems like the Shorock Hydro plant. Evidence of the region's agricultural and pastoral heritage is found in features like the Wendell-Shoshone Sheep Trl, while the topography to the south is interrupted by the prominent Notch Butte. This survey provides a precise view of a high-desert community where water management and ranching tradition dictate the layout of the land.
