The tract lies on a northeast slope with smooth, regular contour and deep soil. It is free from rock and lava crusts with no broken coulees, requiring little leveling. The shallow incline supports irrigation without washing. soil is deep lava ash with no hog-backs.
Water systems and dirt roads are being completed across the tract. Ditches are filled and water is accumulating in readiness for full opening in Idaho. Local crews continue work as conditions allow.
A road seven miles west of Castleford links Castleford and Buhl with a new project. The tract has graded roads to center, bridged canals and laterals, cleared sage brush, and engineered drainage. Bridges and culverts prevent humping, keeping roads in splendid condition for home building.
The project derives water from four mountain streams forming the Idaho Nevada border. An earthen Cedar creek canyon dam with concrete cores will store winter flood waters plus the streams and springs for irrigation. Water is released into Cedar creek then diverted to a distribution canal about five miles below the dam. Steel conduit lines carry water to level lands for canal construction. The system aims to prevent leakage and allow inspection, with headgates of Burnham type and steel construction.
A concrete patented measuring devise allows each water user to see, at will, the exact flow of water they are receiving without consulting a water master, ensuring transparency and self service.
The land will be sold under Carey Act Drawing with equal opportunity for all eligible. Drawing to be conducted by state authorities. Price set at 125.00 per acre. Terms require 25 down with no further principal payments for three years, then ten dollars yearly until balance is paid. Interest rate six percent on deferred payments.
