About this map

The Snake River carves a dramatic northern boundary for Twin Falls, creating a landscape defined by steep canyon walls and significant water features. This edition shows the city's mid-century footprint alongside several 1980s updates, including the development of the Magic Valley Mall and the expansion of the College of Southern Idaho. The canyon itself is a focal point for recreation and industry, featuring the iconic Perrine Memorial Bridge, Shoshone Falls Park, and the Blue Lakes Country Club.

South of the canyon, the grid of the city reaches toward agricultural and industrial sites like the Sugar Factory and a Gravel Pit. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several educational and civic institutions, including St Edwards Sch, Sawtooth Sch, and Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery. The transition from the rugged river terrain at Pillar Falls to the developed irrigation of Perrine Coulee illustrates the region's historical reliance on the river for both power and life.
