1948 Map of Indian Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Old Oregon Trail cuts across this high desert landscape, tracing a path north of the Snake River canyon in the late 1940s. The geography is defined by sharp elevation drops from the Chalk Flat and Medbury Hill down to the riverbed, where Sparlin Island sits near the crossing at Indian Cove Bridge. Transportation infrastructure is concentrated in the northern portion of the quadrangle, where the Union Pacific railroad operates through Chalk Cut and services the Chalk Spur. Irrigation and utility markers such as a Pumping Plant and a isolated Windmill highlight the technical efforts to manage water in this arid environment along the Elmore and Owyhee County border. Local landmarks like Indian Point and various prospects indicate a landscape of sparse settlement and targeted resource extraction.
