About this map

Mud Lake and the neighboring settlement of Terreton anchor this high-desert agricultural landscape in eastern Idaho. The region is defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Crystal Lake Canal, Owsley Canal, and Second Owsley Canal, which transform the arid plains of the Snake River Valley into productive farmland. To the west, the Mud Lake/West Jefferson County Airport serves the local aviation needs of this rural community.

The map reveals a rigid section-line grid of local roads, such as Burtenshaw Rd, Twitchell Rd, and Siddoway Rd, which trace family histories and land ownership across the townships. While the northern half of the quadrangle is largely flat and developed for agriculture, the southern portion transitions into more varied topography, providing a detailed look at the local elevation changes south of the developed canal systems.
