About this map

The North Side Main Canal and its extensive network of ditches and laterals define this agricultural landscape on the border of Idaho and Jerome County. This 1979 survey, with revisions from 1992, documents the vital irrigation infrastructure of the Snake River Plain, including the Diversion Dam and No 4 Pumping Station that transformed this arid region into productive farmland.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant historical markers, notably the Minidoka Relocation Center (Historical) and the former settlement at Perrine (Site). The map preserves the grid of rural life, from Grange Hall to the numerous Storage Bins scattered along section lines. This record captures a moment when traditional agrarian patterns were being tracked with updated aerial photography, reflecting both the early 20th-century development and the modern management of the Idaho interior.
