About this map

The Snake River carves a deep boundary between Oregon and Idaho in this 1980s-era topographical record, where the waters of the Brownlee Reservoir fill the canyon floor. The landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the riverbanks to prominent peaks like Sugarloaf Mountain. This region was historically active for mineral exploration, evidenced by the Snake River Mine and various Prospect markings scattered across the eastern slopes above Big Deacon Creek.

The map reveals a network of drainages and basins including Sawmill Basin and Quaking Aspen Flat, suggesting a history of seasonal grazing and timber use. While the terrain is dominated by water features like Soda Lake and numerous gulches such as Magpie Gulch and Boneyard Gulch, the presence of trails and unimproved roads highlights the area's ongoing role as a corridor for resource access and recreation along the state line.
