About this map

The Snake River corridor dominates this landscape, where the water is impounded as Lake Bryan. The Central Ferry Bridge serves as a vital crossing point, linking the Port of Central Ferry with the agricultural uplands. Industrial and agricultural infrastructure is prominent near the river, including Grain Elevators, a Water Tank, and the Central Ferry Research Farm. These features reflect the area's role as a transportation and shipping hub for the region's wheat and grain production.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain rises into the dissected plateaus of Camas Prairie and Camas Bar. Local history is anchored by Selbu Church and a nearby Cem in the northern section of the map, while Peyton marks a small interior settlement point. The landscape is carved by numerous coulees and draws, such as Alkali Flat Creek and Cottonwood Canyon, illustrating the complex drainage patterns feeding into the Snake River.
