1894 Map of Bisuka

About this map

Initial Point serves as the surveying anchor for this high desert landscape, marking the intersection of the principal meridian and base line for Idaho's land system. Geographer A.H. Thompson and topographer W.T.Griswold recorded the terrain as it stood in the early 1890s, dominated by the deep canyon of the Snake River carving between Ada and Owyhee counties. The Oregon Short Line Railroad provides the primary infrastructure corridor in the north, connecting small settlements like Kuna, Mora, and Bisuka.
