About this map

Star, Eagle, and Meridian anchor this landscape, where the Boise River creates a complex network of waterways and irrigation infrastructure. The river divides around Eagle Island, crossed by the Linder Bridge and Star Bridge, while an extensive system of man-made channels like the Phyllis Canal, Farmers Union Canal, and Middleton Mill Canal redirect water across the valley floor. This intricate hydraulic pattern reflects the region's long-standing dependency on controlled water for its agricultural and residential development.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Home of the Peace Cem and Lower Fairview Cem, providing specific points of interest for family research. The terrain transitions from the developed flats near W State St to the rising elevations of the northern foothills, where features like Lanktree Gulch and Big Gulch Cr descend toward the valley. This survey captures the modern expansion of these Idaho communities as they grow along historic transit corridors and irrigation lifelines.
