About this map

Emmett Valley provides a distinct contrast between the irrigated agricultural floor and the rising uplands of Little Freezeout and West Hartley Gulch. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Payette River and an intricate network of water management features including the Enterprise Canal, Farmers Cooperative Canal, and Maxfield Ditch. These waterways reflect the intensive irrigation history required to support settlements like Emmett, Del Monte, and Bramwell.

Transportation and infrastructure are centered around the Emmett Municipal Airport and a grid of rural roads such as Vanderdasson Rd and W Sales Yard Rd. The landscape transitions from the dense canal system of the valley to the more open terrain in the south near East Hartley Gulch, where the boundary of Gem, Canyon, and Ada counties meet. This map documents the persistent reliance on early 20th-century water infrastructure to maintain the productivity of this Idaho region.
