1992 Map of Glenns Ferry

About this map

Glenns Ferry sits as a critical nexus of transport and water management on the northern bank of the Snake River. This 1990s revision reveals a landscape where the historical path of the Oregon Trail and the industrial backbone of the Union Pacific railroad converge near Three Island Crossing. The area is characterized by complex irrigation systems, including an aqueduct, flume, and multiple siphons that move water across the dissected terrain of Little Canyon Creek and Alkali Creek. Beyond the town center, the map details the local infrastructure of the County Fairgrounds, a municipal Airport, and the Three Island Crossing State Park. To the south, the terrain rises into the draws of Rosevear Gulch and the basalt-rimmed canyons of Deadman Creek, where Deadman Falls marks a sharp break in the volcanic plateau of Deadman Flat.
