About this map

Givens Hot Springs and the surrounding riverine landscape are defined by the winding course of the Snake River, which serves as the boundary between Canyon Co and Owyhee Co. This area is characterized by a complex network of agricultural irrigation, including the Mora Canal, Nicholson Ditch, and Brooks Lateral, which support the plateaus above the river valley. The river itself is dotted with numerous named islands such as Foglers Island and Dredge Island, much of which falls within the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge.

Local history is anchored by the Givens Springs Pioneer Cem, while the modern landscape includes the residential development at Hidden Valley and the aviation-focused community of Sunrise Skypark. To the north, the terrain rises significantly toward Pickles Butte, overlooking Deadhorse Canyon. This map details a unique intersection of early settlement, large-scale water management, and protected riparian habitat.
