The flat irrigated fields that stretch to the next interchange

—used to be a great Indian and trappers’ hunting ground in an old lake that came and went —

In historic time Market Lake was formed during the great Snake River Flood of 1853.
When a new railroad grade blocked the overflow channel leading from the river, the lake disappeared for a time after 1887.
Later irrigation seepage restored the lake, and now the lake is regulated for farming and for a wildlife refuge.
