About this map

The Snake River carves a winding path through this portion of the Treasure Valley, marking the boundary between Oregon and Idaho. In the northwest, the settlement of Adrian sits at the foot of Brown Butte, serving as a hub for the intricate network of irrigation canals and laterals that sustain the region's agriculture. Features like the Riverside Canal, South Canal, and Five and Seventenths Canal crisscross the landscape, illustrating the sophisticated water management systems required for farming in the high desert.

Conservation efforts are evident through the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, which protects habitat along the river and islands like Suzy Island and Hettinger Island. To the east, the map transitions into the Arena Valley and the broad expanse of Deer Flat. This modern survey documents the persistent rural character of Malheur County, where the infrastructure of the Golden Gate Canal and Patch Canal continues to define the physical and economic geography of the borderlands.
