About this map

Snake River geography dominates this modern survey, where the river carves a deep canyon floor between the basalt-topped plateaus of the Snake River Plain. This area sits at a triple-county junction where Elmore, Gooding, and Twin Falls counties meet. The landscape reflects a sophisticated irrigation network essential to regional agriculture, featuring the King Hill Main Canal, the Y Canal, and several laterals like Lateral Y-9 and Lateral Y-8.

Upland features north of the canyon include Pioneer Butte and the broad Pioneer Reservoir fed by Clover Creek. These highlands are marked by distinct volcanic and erosional landmarks such as Burnt Ridge and Gopher Knoll. To the south, the terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Cassia Gulch and Tuana Gulch, illustrating the rugged hydraulic transition from the high desert plains down to the river’s edge.
