1947 Map of Grand View

About this map

Grand View serves as the hub of activity along the Snake River in Owyhee County, where late 1940s irrigation and ranching define the desert landscape. The settlement is flanked by agricultural landmarks like Gold Isle and Dixie Ranch, while an intricate system of flumes, levees, and a Pumping Sta reveal the engineering required to move water from the river to the arid soils. Further south, the terrain transforms into the expansive Twentymile Flat, a high plateau interrupted by deep natural features such as Perjue Canyon and Vinson Gulch.
