About this map

The agricultural hub of Wendell serves as the focal point of this Gooding County survey, illustrating the complex irrigation network vital to the Magic Valley. The landscape is defined by an intricate system of man-made waterways, including the prominent W Canal and a dense web of laterals such as Lateral W-33, Lateral X-1, and Lateral S-2. These features demonstrate the engineered transformation of the high desert into productive farmland.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered on the town's grid, featuring streets like S Milner St and S Pocatello St, alongside the Wendell Cem on the western edge. Notable thoroughfares like Shoe String Rd and N Wendell Rd connect the town to the surrounding rural sections. The map provides a clear record of the area's infrastructure, from the interstate corridor to the various frontage roads that facilitate regional movement.
