About this map

The Malad River carves a dramatic path through this section of the Magic Valley, featuring the deep incision of Malad Gorge and the curious natural formation of the Devils Wash Bowl. This landscape is defined by the contrast between the high, arid plains and the lush, water-rich environments of the Hagerman Valley and the Snake River corridor. The community of Tuttle serves as a central point in an area heavily managed for agriculture and conservation, evident in the extensive network of irrigation canals like W Canal and numerous lateral channels.

Water management is central to the area's identity, supporting facilities such as the Hagerman State Fish Hatchery. Significant elevation changes are navigated by local landmarks like Vader Grade and Johnson Grade, which descend the Canyon Rim toward Billingsley Creek. These geographical features trace the transition from the high basalt plateaus to the fertile canyon bottoms that have sustained local industry and settlement for generations.
