2024 Map of Tuttle

About this map

Tuttle sits atop the volcanic plateau of southern Idaho, overlooking a landscape defined by the dramatic descent into the Hagerman Valley. The map highlights the sophisticated irrigation network essential to this region's agriculture, featuring a dense web of laterals such as Lateral X-30 and W Canal. The terrain drops sharply at the Canyon Rim, where the Malad River carves through the Malad Gorge before its confluence with the larger Snake River. This 2024 survey documents the convergence of industrial-scale water management and natural landmarks, including the National Fish Hatchery and the Hagerman Wildlife Management Area. Historic transportation routes like the Old Malad River Hwy and steep descents like Vader Grade provide evidence of the area's geological challenges for early travelers and modern infrastructure alike, while Bridal Veil Falls marks the rugged transition from the high desert to the river bottom.
