2024 Map of Thorn Creek SE

About this map

Mount Bennett Hills define the northern horizon of this landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into a highly engineered agricultural corridor. The southern portion of the map reveals the complex irrigation infrastructure essential to this region, centered around the Milner Gooding Canal and the High Line Canal. These primary arteries feed a dense network of smaller channels, including Lateral 916, Lateral 900, and Lateral 700, which transform the arid plains into productive farmland. The Big Wood River cuts through the southwestern corner, joined by the Robertson Ditch, illustrating the historical reliance on local water rights for settlement. A grid of section roads like Preacher Creek Rd and W Co Line Rd provides access to these isolated rural tracts, while natural drainages such as Timber Gulch and Portuguese Creek trace the original contours of the land before the arrival of modern water management.
