About this map

The Snake River winds through this agricultural borderland, defining the transition between Oregon and Idaho. The settlement of Adrian serves as a central hub, supported by a dense network of irrigation infrastructure including the Riverside Canal, Golden Gate Canal, and the Coyote Gulch Siphon. This complex system of laterals and drains, such as the Wordica Lateral and Central Alkali Drain, underscores the region's reliance on water management for desert farming.

Along the riverbanks, geographical features like Suzy Island and Hettinger Island break the water's flow, while the Adrian Boat Launch provides access to the river. Further inland, the landscape rises toward Brown Butte and is bisected by the Succor Creek Hwy. For those interested in infrastructure and engineering of the early 21st century, the presence of Tunnel Number 5 and Tunnel Number 6 near Alkali Cr highlights the challenges of navigating this varied terrain.
