2017 Map of Tunupa

About this map

The Big Wood River and Little Wood River define this Idaho landscape, where the high desert meets an intricate network of irrigation and power generation. Irrigation infrastructure is central to the area's development, evidenced by the S Gooding Main Canal and various laterals like Lateral 916C1 and Lateral B2. The map highlights the intersection of agricultural and industrial history at Arkoosh Hydro near the settlement of Tunupa, while the Sliman Reservoir provides a critical water source for the surrounding plains. Tracing the county line between Gooding and Lincoln counties, the map also preserves the route of the Wendell-Shoshone Sheep Trl, a testament to the region's long-standing livestock heritage. This 2017 edition documents the persistent reliance on complex water management to sustain both energy and agriculture in the Snake River Plain.
