About this map

The Snake River carves a path through the Idaho-Oregon borderlands, defining the northern geography of this Owyhee County terrain. The city of Homedale sits at a strategic crossing, surrounded by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure including the Town Ditch, Patch Canal, and the Deer Flat Low Line Canal. These engineered waterways support the agriculture that sustains the region, contrasting with the dry, rising elevations to the south and west.

Rising from the valley floor, landmarks like Rattlesnake Butte and Flat Top Butte provide topographical variety before the land ascends into the Owyhee Mountains. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies specific community anchors such as the Marsing - Homedale Cem and the Homedale Municipal Airport. From the clustered streets of Owyhee Heights to the river islands like Rabbit Island and Clarks Island, the map documents the modern footprint of a community deeply tied to its river and water rights.
