About this map

The North Side Main Canal and an intricate network of lateral waterways define the high desert plains along the Lincoln County and Jerome County border. This survey illustrates the sophisticated irrigation infrastructure required for agriculture in southern Idaho, featuring major arteries like the U Canal and M Canal. The landscape is organized by a strict grid of section lines and rural thoroughfares such as Three Mile Wendell Rd and Hall Rd, which intersect numerous distribution channels including Lateral R-14 and Lateral R-6. The presence of the PD-4 Ditch and the J Canal in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the complex water management systems that transformed this arid region into productive farmland, providing a clear record of land use and civil engineering in the early 21st century.
