1955 Map of Jordan Valley
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Jordan Valley and the high desert of the Oregon-Idaho borderlands appear here in a mid-century survey reflecting a landscape defined by water scarcity and cattle ranching. The Owyhee River and its dramatic Owyhee Canyon anchor the western portion of the map, while numerous reservoirs such as Antelope Reservoir, Triangle Reservoir, and Little Grassy Reservoir indicate the vital irrigation infrastructure required for life in this arid basin. Small settlements like Rome, Arock, and Danner are scattered along the creek beds, serving as remote outposts for the surrounding ranching community.
