Minidoka
County is located in the
fertile Snake River Plain of Southern Idaho approximately
160 miles east of Boise with a population of 20,174 and 762
square miles of land. The county contains
approximately four hundred eighty thousand (480,000) acres,
of which 42% is in production agriculture. The county has a
unique topography and elevation. Its southern portion, which
runs along the Snake River, was originally part of the
riverbed. Its northern portion runs over a somewhat higher
table and is called the North side project. Its extreme
northern and eastern boundaries consist of lava flows with
large and small areas of arable land. Although the surface
structure is varied, there is only 180 feet difference in
elevation from the lowest point at the southwest corner,
4180 feet and its highest point in the northeast corner,
4360 feet.
The
University of Idaho provides equal opportunity in education and
employment on the basis of race, color, religion, national
origin, gender, age, disability, or status as a Vietnam-era
