About this map

The Snake River dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, creating a complex network of waterways including Deer Parks Lake and Oxbow Slough. This region reflects a highly managed hydraulic environment where the Market Lake Canal and the Butte Market Lake Canal divert river water to support local agriculture and habitat. This water management is most evident within the Market Lake State Wildlife Management Area, which occupies a significant portion of the western sheet.

Transportation and resource extraction are visible through the Union Pacific rail line and several industrial features. While the northern half of the map is defined by sparse terrain and section lines, the river bottomlands contain named landmarks like Kellers Island and Butte Slough. Traces of local activity appear in the form of multiple Borrow Pits and a Cinder Pit, while hydrology is further marked by East Springs and specific river markers such as Mile 825.
