2020 Map of Shoshone SW

About this map

The North Side Main Canal and an intricate network of irrigation laterals dominate this agricultural landscape along the border of Jerome and Lincoln counties. This 2020 survey illustrates the sophisticated water management systems essential to the region, featuring major arteries like the R Canal and P Canal alongside smaller distribution channels such as Pd-4 Ditch. The terrain is partitioned by a rigid grid of rural roads, including Three Mile Wendell Rd and Hall Rd, which facilitate access to the surrounding farmsteads. The transition from the northern Lincoln County line into the southern reaches of Jerome County is marked by a shift in lateral configurations, with features like Lateral Pe-1 and Lateral R-14 carving through the township sections. This map serves as a contemporary record of Idaho's engineered agricultural heritage, showing how water is methodically diverted from the main canals into various named laterals to sustain the high desert plains.
