1947 Map of Indian Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Old Oregon Trail cuts across this high desert landscape, tracing a historic path through Chalk Flat north of the river. The canyon of the Snake River dominates the central portion of the map, serving as the boundary between Elmore and Owyhee Counties. Infrastructure of the mid-20th century is evident through the presence of the Union Pacific railroad, which features distinctive engineering marks like Chalk Spur and Chalk Cut. Transportation across the water is facilitated by the Indian Cove Bridge, while the local economy is represented by a Pumping Plant and several gravel pits. Topographical landmarks such as Medbury Hill and Indian Point provide vertical relief against the river’s course, with Sparlin Island sitting mid-stream in the southeastern reach of the survey area.
