1946 Map of Limekiln Rapids

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Rogersburg sits at the vital confluence of the Grande Ronde River and the Snake River, serving as a focal point in this 1944 mapping of the Washington, Oregon, and Idaho borderlands. The landscape is defined by the steep, narrow corridor of the Snake River canyon, where significant whitewater features like Limekiln Rapids, Buffalo Rapids, and Wild Goose Rapids dictated the movement of goods and people. The map reveals a transition in river activity, noting the site of the Captain John Ferry and several locations already marked as abandoned by the mid-1940s, including Brahams Landing and Couse Creek Gulch. Above the river, the high terrain of Weissenfels Ridge and Montgomery Ridge towers over the water, separated by deep drainages like Montgomery Gulch and Fisher Gulch.
