2013 Map of Wendell

About this map

Wendell serves as the focal point of this Gooding County region, defined by a rigid grid of agricultural roads and an extensive network of irrigation canals. The town's layout is centered around an intersection of primary local thoroughfares such as S Idaho St and 8th Ave W, surrounded by township and range divisions. The landscape reveals the critical role of water management in Idaho's high desert, with significant infrastructure like the W Canal and numerous lateral branches including Lateral X-4 and Lateral W-33 feeding the surrounding acreage. Beyond the residential center, the map traces early transport routes such as Shoestring Rd and N Wendell Rd, illustrating how the desert was partitioned into productive farmsteads. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the rural-to-urban interface as it existed before further 21st-century development.
